*Thank you to Hickory Hardware for providing the pulls for this project. With the help of Hickory Hardware, I was able to get the pulls I wanted to complete the look I was after.
I decided to use my favorite furniture color with contrasting white for the finish. I created my stencils with cardboard or used plastic lids, etc., and eye-balled the design.Ĭan you see where I’m going with this? You have to look close… I like to get creative with pieces like this, and I wanted to just let it all hang out and really go for it. Those vintage VW vehicles are so absolutely fun and who can resist those curves? I even told my friend, Julie, when she gave me the chest my plan was a bus. I removed that scalloped piece from the bottom front to give it a clean look.Ībout two years ago, I had seen a waterfall chest turned into a Volkswagen bus, and I promised myself that if I ever got my hands on another, I was going to give it a try. Nothing goes to waste around here!Īfter this big boy was brought inside, I gave it a priming coat and then set to work on my vision. It’s being saved for a project yet to be determined. It’s beautiful in its own right, but wasn’t going to suit my end project, so off it goes. The face of the cabinet had this weird carved strip that kinda creeped me out because it looked like eyes staring at me. Now I have a clean slate to start with and the just need a light sanding.
Two layers in one fell swoop! Funny the things that can make you giddy. There were two layers of veneer both on the outside and lining the inside, but my towel-soak method worked like a dream. To get started, I needed to remove that snaggle-tooth veneer. I recently used those glass pulls on my French Script dressing table, so now this gentleman stood naked.but not for long! DIY TIME So, now I have two Art Deco chest of drawers (or tall boys) awaiting new life and my first pick to work on was the second one. (Thank you, Julie!) Again, my brain says, “Bring it on!” Am I crazy? Maybe, but life is more fun that way.
#WHITE WATERFALL DRESSER FOR FREE#
It was marked $5 and she told me I could have it for FREE because it was junk. This is an Art Deco waterfall chest of drawers. I instantly knew it would make a fantastic Volkswagen …oh yessss… (Bedroom makeover coming soon!) Turns out a good friend was helping her family with the sale and showed me this dresser. When I spied a local garage sale had a vintage French Provincial set, I hopped on over. They had a mish-mosh of pieces that didn’t coordinate and needed more space. As much as we love a current trend, we'll leave you with this message from interior designer Kate Lester: "Focus more on what the space needs and less on what is 'trending.Early this past spring, I was on the hunt for furniture for our girls’ room makeover. Swap out your backsplash tile (dare we suggest something vibrant), add a fresh coat of paint to your kitchen island or layer in handmade artisan details - all of which can be completed in a few hours. We're seeing designers experiment with bolder choices like mixed metals, high-contrast color palettes, double islands and overstated cabinet hardware. For kitchen colors, they're loving dusty greens and blues, as well as soft hues like terracotta, natural browns and creamy whites. For kitchen countertops, the pros note that both natural and expressive stones will continue to be top picks.
