Upcycled Dresser

Upcycled Dresser

My inlaws moved to a new place. As we were clearing out their old place, there were a number of pieces that they didn't want. This dresser was one of them. I liked the size of it so I decided to give it a facelift.

When I began redoing this dresser, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. I was telling my DIL about it and she said she wanted it for her daugher's room. She already had a grey dresser in there but needed more storage space. 

The other piece she had some decorative scroll work on it, so I decided to add some to this piece as well.

Here is the original dresser.

The top drawer had these plastic pieces on it. They were about 3/4 inch wide.

Of course those came off. I was able to place the scrolly things over the holes.

For the paint, I use linen chalk paint and added in some dark grey to get this color. I didn't measure, just kept adding the dark grey until I liked it.  

For the handles, I sprayed them white. As you can see, they were too while for the piece. So I took some of the dark grey and brushed it lightly on the handles.

The legs on the dresser were the best parts.

The top was in great shape, just ugly. I didn't get a chance to do any staging with this piece, since hubby was heading up to her house and he loaded it up.

So here is my before and after:

She was so happy with it that she didn't want to put it in her daughters room. Instead, she put it in her bedroom.
