Purchased on Ebay for a mere $30 (and within easy pick up range!!!), this little treasure is soon to have a complete makeover and find a new home in our girls bedroom.
The week before last I wrote this post about decorating our girls room.
Small steps, but Im slowly getting there.
Confetti spots on wall- tick!
Bed/ cot/linen- tick!
Dresser- now ....tick!
Keeping to a strict (and small) budget, I am now on the lookout to find a floor mat or rug and some artwork to complete this room.
Ive been searching on Ebay for a while now trying to find a tallboy/dresser (actually need two-one for our son's room as well) to revamp that we can place in their room for extra storage and somewhere to put some special treasures on. This dresser ticked the box for all requirements (although I would have loved for it to be a smidge taller).
Ive also been spending a bit of time on Pinterest and in magazines looking for fun idea's for our dresser makeover.
The images below are some of my favourites, and if you are in the makeover mode, perhaps their might be something there you like too.
Love the soft pink colour which suits the style of dresser so well. The raw timber detail left untouched as a reminder of what it once was. And how sweet are those confetti spots- nice colour combo! From a store in the US called KNACK Studios. If you are interested in restoring furniture, its worth visiting their blog/online store...very inspiring!
Another nursery change table.... but how fun is the chevron look and colour palette.
Goes to show you can have fun playing with some masking tape and your favourite colours.
Perhaps Im being a bit boring but Im in love with this raspberry colour (just by itself) and think I will paint our new dresser, similar to this one. Might try and find some new drawer knobs.
Hopefully next week (or week after next!!) I will have some photos to share of our new dresser!
Have you given a makeover to an old piece of furniture
and given it a second (or third, or fourth) lease of life?
Love the shades of pink. ...can't wait to see the finished product
