DRESSERS - BEFORE & AFTER





The tall dresser was cut down and now works nicely next to a bed at the perfect height.





Before & After of a make-over





As you can see this was an ugly mess.


  After getting a good scrubbing, a paint job, and some new hardware, the doors were then replaced.       

    
                 
It looks totally different now.


I thought the little white dresser was so cute but it wouldn't sell.  So I re-purposed it into a bench and  out the door it went!





This dresser came undone on the ride home.




The determination to save it was worth the work.




I started to scrape the chipping paint to find the 1950’s decals underneath the lead base paint.  It was all removed and refreshed with a couple coats of bright white latex paint. 


This infant storage dresser can double as a changing table.


With the mold on this dresser it was sprayed with 75 percent bleach and 25 percent water.  It sat in the hot sun for a while then washed down good.


I really like the end results, just right for a bathroom.

 





This is the perfect style of dresser to make over.







Freshened up with updated pulls and a coat of white paint gave it new life.







I really like the mix of stain and paint on this piece.




I was a bit disappointed with this vanity. I thought it had eight legs but only had six. My intention was to turn it into two nightstands, but it was two legs too short.  So it just had a bright blue paint job. The bench below was from a church sale.


Every little girl needs a dressing table with a mirror.


It was a little bright but the customers liked it at the Stagecoach Barn Sale.


What color would you have picked?
