What are your thoughts when you see this little dresser? Â Does it look dated to you? Â Or do you think it shouts “farmhouse style!” Would you notice this dresser in a space or do you think it’s too blah to stand-out?
Personally, I like it as-is. Â I think the light, maple wood has that beautiful aged patina, and I’m seeing a lot more light wood show up in spaces these days.
But I think it still needs a little something to really make it special again . . .
I’m walking through this maple chest makeover today as a guest blogger at Blesser House.
Have you checked out Lauren and her Southern-style DIY blog? Â She is fantastic and so graciously invited me to share one of my makeovers on her site (what??? I know!! It’s an awesome opportunity!)
You can see the full post here, and read about how sometimes you don’t need to paint an entire piece to make it special again.
Perfect! I love it! Turquoise is always a good choice. I’m with you, the color of the wood is pretty and didn’t need a lot to make it special.
Love the look . I’m so over all the distressed dressers out there. This could fit in with my modern style. I love the Turquoise. If it was mine The only thing I would do if it was mine is to cut the scalloped on the front piece straight. Enjoy
Thank you Jean. That is a good idea about the trimming the scalloped edge. That’s probably a little past my DIY skills, I wouldn’t want to mess up the natural finish of the wood too much. But I like the idea!
I just adore what you did with this piece. The added pattern is just perfect and adds so much interest! I would love it if you shared it on our furniture only blog party… Friday’s Furniture Fix at http://www.patinaparadise.com
Thank you Lucy! I will check out your party for sure.
