This is a the 2nd dresser makeover that we talked about in our previous blog post. This is such a fun way to re-purpose an old dresser! This one has a bench on one side, drawers for storage on the other, and shoe storage on the bottom! This one is going in a kid's bedroom. He plans to sit on it while he plays video games;) Check out how we transformed this dresser below...
Here is the original dresser minus the drawers....
Hank had to completely take it apart because it was not stable. He was able to use a lot more of the original dresser than the first bench!
Here he is adding wood for support. It's important that this is as sturdy as possible since this will get a lot of use!
Here's Hank framing out the drawers.
Adding more wood for support.
Next, he cut the top of the dresser into 2 pieces: one for the seat and for the top of the drawers.
Coming together!
Now that the base is built, time to add wanes coating!
We decided to add more wanes coating on the bottom of the shoe cubbies. Really cute look!
Here it is after the 3rd coat of paint. I LOVE it as is, but our customer has a more rustic style, so it's time to antique it!
TA-DA! After distressing with sandpaper and applying glaze, here is the finished product! Contact us on Facebook at facebook.com/perkswerks for your re-purposed piece today!
Happy Sunday!
