Trash to Treasure projects
Taryn inherited a dresser with great clean lines that was the perfect size for her daughter’s room. Unfortunately, it “was clearly a victim to some serious orange spray paint in the 70’s.” What’s a gal to do? At Design, Dining, and Diapers she’s working a pastel-friendly transformation with the help of chalk paint powder!
Sherry’s husband has been slowly accumulating a lot of outdoor cooking gear on their back porch. It was getting to the point where “he really did need some sort of area for prep and to handle all the food that he is cranking out.” So Sherry, who blogs at Upcycle Addict, used an old dresser to surprise her “amazing BBQ King” with a smokin’ Father’s Day present.
At Divine Lifestyle, Stacie demonstrates just how fun and easy it can be to add a trendy ombre effect to your home. It’s a perfect decorating technique for summer, since, as Stacie explains, “Ombre colored pieces give a water color effect, where the color starts off light and trickles down to a bolder hue.” Her ombre project started with a dresser that was rescued from the curb.
When Sara from SL Designs decided to buckle down and pay off some debt rather than buy new bedroom furniture, she remembered the little hand-me-down nightstand hanging out in her garage. One quick makeover later and this boring nightstand is now an elegant white-and-brass bedroom showstopper!
Well, it’s easy to figure that out, because this dresser is full of maps! Karen from The Salvaged Boutique rescued this dresser from the curbside on garbage day. Although it had sustained some minor damage, she knew that it could be repaired and restyled.
At Makin’ My Apt a Home, Arod’s daughter has been wanting a New York City theme for her bedroom. Mom decided to make it a reality, and the first step was transforming this hand-me-down dresser.
At The Golden Sycamore, Allison and her husband found this old wash stand when they were cleaning out their basement. Free furniture is always the best kind to experiment with, so Allison seized the opportunity to try using milk paint for the first time by giving this piece a little makeover.
“My Step-Dad found this dresser at the side of the road on garbage day,” confesses Shelly at 100 Things 2 Do. She was in desperate need of a place to corral miscellaneous winter gear, like hats and gloves, and decided that the old dresser could serve a new purpose.
