After building my farmhouse bed and 2 new bedside table I still had my very ugly and old dresser.
It functioned really well so instead of building a new one I decided to up-cycle the old one.
I simply framed it up with some pine, painted it white, added pallet wood to the top, stained the pallet wood walnut, then added some fancy handles and now it's like a whole new dresser.
Thanks to Ana-White's website and book I have a whole new set of skills and I am not scared to give just about anything a go.

Thank you
You're right, I had a ball doing this mainly because I was winging it the whole time.
This dresser was actually a hand me down when I got it about 15 years ago. I don't see the point in throwing out something that is still useful.

Lovely! I recognized right away that it matched your other bedroom projects but had no idea it was a makeover. Great job! :)
