Old Dresser turns Coffee Table

Here's a fun idea

for a furniture redo.




Pin It!






Megan inherited an old dresser from Grandma

and cut it down to coffee table size.

The wood was stripped down to it's natural state.

After applying some Early American stain,

I ran a black glaze along the edge.






Then for the worn white look,  

I used vaseline on the edges for a paint resist.




After the white paint dries, sand the edges.

Now you have the farmhouse style

combining chippy white and natural wood.










I love the idea of finding ways 

to make Grandma's old furniture

updated and functional.

Now if you see an old dresser with drawers missing

or heavy water damage on the bottom,

remember there is still hope for restoration!

Happy Painting,
Deb
