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.

Happiness Is Homemade Party

Welcome to Happiness Is Homemade Party

I am so glad you're here to join us for the 398th Happiness is Homemade link party! I have been loving seeing all of the fall and Halloween posts. It is so hard to pick only a few features, but know that we enjoy seeing all of your posts. Please continue to share them.

 Before we get to the party, let's take a look at this week's features.

I thought I'd get a few non-Halloween features in this week, and one is this post by Krafty Planner. In it, she gives us 7 tips to practice an attitude of gratitude. With Thanksgiving coming up next month (in the US) and the state of the world, we can forget all of the good that we still have. 

Along the same lines of that is these adorable worry jars by Must Have Mom. They are too cute. Little ones are affected by external forces just as much as we are, if not more. With this idea, your child can write down their worries and let them go, as they put the paper in the jar. I like her idea of making this a cares jar and giving them all to God.

Ok, now back to Halloween! These felt flags by She's Crafty Crafty are so cute. I have a ton of felt with nothing to do with it. Much of the sheets are fall colors, so this is the perfect project to use them up. She mentioned how cute these would be in the hands of a toddler in a wagon going trick or treating. I agree!

Lisa over at Fresh Vintage by Lisa S created these adorable printables to add to a bottle for a quick and easy Halloween decor piece. It looks perfect on her brown bottle. Who doesn't want to upcycle something you'd throw in the trash into beautiful decor?!

Y'all this next post is unbelievable. I found it and asked her to submit it to Happiness is Homemade. Linda from Life and created this Hallow-queens tablescape, and it's gorgeous! Who wouldn't die to be at this Halloween party?! Get it?
