First things first, I needed to remove those handle things
and vacuum out the unwanted inhabitants.
While stripping all the old paint it was obvious the
top couldn't be salvaged.
I replace the top with a surface *pull-out* from our
old solid oak desk cut to fit.
I had to mend or rebuild every
drawer gluing, clamping, and nailing
Step ... #112 so far, I added vintage legs all around.
Then to priming and confirmed the great looking handles
I thought would work, actually work well.
An embossed print was added to the
drawer fronts then painted.
All 5 drawers got lined with designer print fabric.

ReplyDeleteI think this is the second time I have seen someone add feet/legs to a dresser. Is it hard to do and how do you handle attaching them to the dresser?
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this dresser, very original.

Wow, you really know what you're doing. Keep it up. We can all learn from you! Is the embossing a paper sheet, metal, wood, or what?
