I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it! If you’re reading, thanks, JoAnne! 🤗 Today I’m sharing this painted and stained waterfall dresser makeover. Hi, sweet friends! Last week one of my readers, JoAnne who also lives in the GTA reached out and asked if I’d like this dresser.
WHITE WATERFALL DRESSER HOW TO
Up next, this Dumpster Diva…she’s next on my makeover list.598 Shares HOW TO TURN A WATERFALL DRESSER INTO A PAINTED AND STAINED BEAUTY! | YOUTUBE VIDEO I’m sure others would love to meet BEEP too! In addition, pin and share if you’ve loved this Volkswagen makeover. (UPDATE: BEEP went to his new home on 8/26) It will be a teary goodbye when I send this guy off to his new home, but if you love him too, you can find him in my shop. Hard not to fall in love with this wheeled-wonder dresser complete with chrome accents, isn’t it? Isn’t he sweet? I have to tell you that I had another “God wink” because the day I was staging these photos, I happened to stop in a thrift store and found those almost new BLUE chucks and in my size!! I never shop for me and was giddy to bring them home. My heart goes pitter-pat over those wire pulls for windshield wipers, and I love that the turn signals are wooden knobs. I’m one proud mama and couldn’t be happier that this “junk” is now a funkified Volkswagen bus wannabe. Okay ladies and gents, it’s time to introduce you to one of my favorite makeovers ever…Meet BEEP. (Come follow along to join in the fun – just click on the icons up in the top right.) I also had this sweet gem shipped in from the UK via eBay and gave a sneak peek on social media on my upcoming project. *Thank you to Hickory Hardware for providing the pulls for this project. With the help of Hickory Hardware, I was able to get the pulls I wanted to complete the look I was after.
I decided to use my favorite furniture color with contrasting white for the finish. I created my stencils with cardboard or used plastic lids, etc., and eye-balled the design.Ĭan you see where I’m going with this? You have to look close… I like to get creative with pieces like this, and I wanted to just let it all hang out and really go for it. Those vintage VW vehicles are so absolutely fun and who can resist those curves? I even told my friend, Julie, when she gave me the chest my plan was a bus. I removed that scalloped piece from the bottom front to give it a clean look.Ībout two years ago, I had seen a waterfall chest turned into a Volkswagen bus, and I promised myself that if I ever got my hands on another, I was going to give it a try. Nothing goes to waste around here!Īfter this big boy was brought inside, I gave it a priming coat and then set to work on my vision.
It’s being saved for a project yet to be determined. It’s beautiful in its own right, but wasn’t going to suit my end project, so off it goes. The face of the cabinet had this weird carved strip that kinda creeped me out because it looked like eyes staring at me. Now I have a clean slate to start with and the just need a light sanding. Two layers in one fell swoop! Funny the things that can make you giddy. There were two layers of veneer both on the outside and lining the inside, but my towel-soak method worked like a dream. To get started, I needed to remove that snaggle-tooth veneer. I recently used those glass pulls on my French Script dressing table, so now this gentleman stood naked.but not for long! DIY TIME
So, now I have two Art Deco chest of drawers (or tall boys) awaiting new life and my first pick to work on was the second one. (Thank you, Julie!) Again, my brain says, “Bring it on!” Am I crazy? Maybe, but life is more fun that way.
WHITE WATERFALL DRESSER FOR FREE
It was marked $5 and she told me I could have it for FREE because it was junk.
This is an Art Deco waterfall chest of drawers. I instantly knew it would make a fantastic Volkswagen …oh yessss… (Bedroom makeover coming soon!) Turns out a good friend was helping her family with the sale and showed me this dresser. When I spied a local garage sale had a vintage French Provincial set, I hopped on over. They had a mish-mosh of pieces that didn’t coordinate and needed more space. Early this past spring, I was on the hunt for furniture for our girls’ room makeover.
