Trash to Treasure

Ways To Upcycle A Dresser

kelleysdiy

I was searching the internet for ideas that you/I could up cycle a dresser. I love that you can take a thrift store, garage sale old dresser  and up cycle it into something else. So the next time you see a old dresser, grab it, even it’s the ugliest dresser you have ever seen. Even if it’s missing knobs or even a drawers, you can always do something with it!!! Even if you see a drawer all by itself, it can become something useful and a conversation piece all on it’s own.

Painting stripes on the sides is a fabulous idea…you could also wall paper the outsides or even in the insides of the dresser.

Use different wallpapers to make a beautiful design.Of course you can also decoupage your dresser

 

I saw the following wallpaper at Walmart. $29 For a roll. I happen to really love this design and plan on using it on a wall in my bedroom.

The uses for this Beachwood Peel and Stick Wallpaper from Jo-Ann are endless! Get creative with your home decor and add a beachy vibe to anything from a reading nook to an outdated dresser. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to transform your space. #DIYHomeDecorBeach

So what do you think? Are you ready to get your mojo on and try making over your dresser. Or even better….keep your eyes out for one at a garage sale or thrift store.

Thank you for looking! I hope I gave you some ideas!

I love creating new ideas. And now that I am happily retired, I have lots more time to create them! Whether its crafts for decorating my home, or up cycling items I find at garage sales, thrift stores, and even on the curb, and turning them into something wonderful. The creative juices flowing in my head are almost always in overdrive....so many ideas! I love sharing my new ideas with all of you! So please follow me and let me know how I'm doing! I hope I can inspire you.....and if I do....send me a pic. I would love to see your creation.

    1. I am now in search of a old dresser. I do reviewing for some large companies and I just recieved a dresser to review. It’s so pretty but oh how I would love to turn it into something else. I’m thinking putting plants in the drawers and potting supplies in the cabinets. I just hate to put it outside.

      1. I don’t currently have a picture and can’t take one at the moment. I can try to describe it though. It’s basically rectangular. It has 6 drawers with each side having one small drawer and two large drawers. The front of the small drawer on the left side is broken off although I do have the piece to it. It is quite old (50 years or older?) It also has a small amount of water damage around it’s bottom, particularly on the sides.

      8. That’s great, you’re not limited to possibilities. Bathroom vanity or kitchen Island, I made a coffee bar out of one. Do you need an entertainment console, for your living room or guest room? You can turn it into so many gorgeous pieces. I found this you can check out for ideas: https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS823US823&q=diy+dresser+upcycled&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4qZ6t3qzgAhVnCTQIHS0wDOkQ7Al6BAgEEBE&biw=1517&bih=695 Copy and paste into search. I am sure you will find something. Need any help, just ask!

      9. Thanks. I will check it out. I thought about the kitchen, but not sure there is room and the kitchen hasn’t been renovated yet. The bathroom is a possibility as is the entertainment console. I have other ideas as well…but just not sure what I want yet!
