Dresser Refinished with Aluminum Foil

Bought a dresser from Craigslist for $25. We are going with an industrial theme in my son's room, so I thought that I would paint it a metallic color but after doing some research I decided I did not want to sand the entire dresser. So I then looked at silver leafing it but didn't want to pay the price for the silver. Sooo I turned to a $3 box of aluminum foil and crossed my fingers.

Original dresser

Once I started putting the aluminum foil on the drawers my first thought was...OMG! What have I done? This is fugly. But I continued on in hopes that it would get better.

But once I added a little black acrylic paint to it, I started to see the potential

In the end, my son ended up with a one of a kind dresser that fits the industrial them perfectly!
