Craigslist, thrift stores, garage sales… these are some of my favorite places to find treasures. And by treasures I mean other people’s garbage that I will makeover into something wonderful. After seeing this DIY from Brooke of Start At Home, I’ll be on the hunt for an old dresser! I love seeing old furniture getting a second chance at life and being re-purposed.
Brooke used some creativity to transform an average dresser into something vintage in just a few easy steps. I don’t have the dresser. Or the carpentry skills. But I do have the tutorial and I do have the paint! (I also have a husband with who can do the heavy lifting. Lol.) This bench is great and would work in any room of the house. I think it would be perfect in a sunny reading spot with books tucked into all the shelves. Where would you put it? Do tell! Buzzfeed has a roundup that is all about dressers and how to transform the boring into the brilliant. You will love it as much as the one created by Brooke.
