French Dresser Turned Bench

I was at a garage sale and a lady was selling this dresser, the only catch was it didn't have any drawers. EEK but I couldn't pass up these french legs, they get me every time!
After I got it home it just sat in my garage until I could figure out what to do with it. And then it came to me....A BENCH!!
I wanted the bench to have extra storage so I only took out 4 of the 9 drawers.
Once I had the drawers out I made the seat and back for the bench, and since there are no drawers I lined them all with bead board to finish it off!


To see how I finished this off head over to my blog!

    How did you remove the top? I have one that has shelves on each side and drawers in middle want to put bench in the middle. Can you text me at 2286973481

    How did you make it strong enough to sit on?

    What a beautiful transformation. Love it. I got rid of a dresser just like this that used to be in my daughter's room and now I'm so sad I didn't keep it and do something like this with it. Just wonderful.
