Bad Dresser Gone Good

HGTV fan Ellen introduced us to her in-need-of-a-redo dresser. Check out her before-and-after (we don’t want to spoil the reveal).

Ellen’s project brought to mind other cool dresser makeovers (and easy weekend projects, btw):

Another paint makeover from Country Living. I love the lining paper in the drawers.

Amy’s makeover with pastel stripes and an adorable branch detail

This uber-cool Union Jack paint over makes a traditional piece hip.

A colorful, bird-themed wallpapered dresser courtesy of ohdeedoh. This one is a lot like the inspiration pic I’ve had on my wall for the last month, as I search out ideas for my own redo.

  1. Wow! Thanks for linking to my blog/project. I was wondering why my visitor stats had gone through the roof yesterday.
    I was curious about how you came across my blog in the first place.

  2. Ellen,
    That dresser project was pretty impressive, but what made your post so nice was your wonderful wit and charming style of writing. I've read all of your posts, and absolutely love the blog!
    Kelly, Thanks for letting the world know about Ellen!
