Sand the vanity to roughen the surface, which will help the paint adhere. Brush off the dust completely, then go over the dresser with a tack cloth to pick up any of the finer particles that remain.
Apply a quality primer to the dresser. Let the primer dry completely.
Paint the drawers with the first paint color and let them dry.
Lay the drawers on their backs and bring them as close together as possible. Make sure they are in the same arrangement as they will be once they are back on the dresser. Measure and mark the pattern to place the tape.
Tape just inside the lines. At the corners, hold the tape down with your fingernails and tear to make a perfect inside corner. Use a bit of the first color to seal the edges of the tape.
Apply the second color of paint over the entire surface of the drawers, including the tape, and allow to dry completely.
Use a narrower ribbon to create the next part of the pattern. Place the tape on the outer edge of the first. This time, however, use a utility knife to cut the tape at the corners. Again, apply some of the second color of paint to seal the tape. Next, paint just the outside edge of the drawers, as if you were painting a frame around them. Carefully remove all tape.
Paint the dresser the same color you used for the outer band on the drawers. Now for the final coat of paint:apply a creamy white paint to the cases. Next paint the outer panel of the drawers. Don't paint the center
