I had a Blue Dresser that I had sitting in my basement for ever that kept screaming out TV Stand... TV Stand...But every time I went to the Basement I looked at it and kept saying to myself SELF... Today is the Day... Well by the time I finally decided to do something with it, It had so much piled on top of it that it took me the whole Day to dig it out... well I was bound and determined and I finally got it up the stairs and out side..and here is what I did with that OLD Blue Dresser
Thank you Shabby:) I just find it easier to make my own bins they are so easy to do.. I usually make them out of Luan for the base and any kind of left over scrap wood That I can find Lying around the garage for the sides and front.. I just think that some of them are way to expensive to buy in the stores so I make my own..:) .Here's a pic...;)
Shabby Hey I tried a button out that I made for you... I sent a message to your email address that you gave me...It worked for me but I don't have a html link to your picture so the pic didn't come up but every thing else worked great
Tania, you are so wonderful. I don't think I even thanked you for doing that for me. I read your instructions and knew I needed to wait until my brain was more rested before trying that. I will email you this evening. Thank you so very truly specially much!
Hi, I thought I posted earlier, but don't see my comment. I love this project and wondered what stain you used for the natural wood? I would like to re-do a piece of furniture in this style and love the way you did this.
@Holly P.. You posted on the last picture and for some reason when people post on the pictures it doesn't show up in the notifications until we browse through our pictures... sorry I didn't see it earlier:(... I used a Semi gloss black paint on the body of the Cabinet and Minwax Brand "Early American" Stain on the Slats and top of the Cabinet... Thank you for your Lovely comment..Cheers!
Thanks for posting. Need to replace a dresser in the kitchen, and this would be perfect. Went thrift store hopping today and found a dresser with four drawers. Will keep the top two and create the shelf on the bottom two. I can't wait to see the results. Could I ask what type of paint you used?
Gail I used a Semi gloss Black That I had mixed at our Local Hardware Store here in town...I primed it firs with white primer that I had them add a little black to it ... I found that when you tint the primer when using Darker colors you don't have to put on a lot of coats of paint to cover the white primer...:).. Good Luck Can't wait to see your handy work..:)
