I often come across basic furniture – a plain dresser or an unadorned headboard – that could easily be dressed up with a coat or two of paint. But I never really considered turning my dresser into a focal point until I saw this chevron-patterned dresser inspired by Design Star contestant Rachel Kate’s white room design. Designer Brian Patrick Flynn used various bold hues of the season, like grape, lavender and hot pink, to add visual balance to the drawer fronts in a daring chevron pattern.
I love the look of the dressers as separate pieces, or pushed together to create one extra-large piece of furniture, like this double dresser/TV-stand setup below.

Super cool! Chevron is really big right now and I think it looks fabulous. A very playful pattern that can add more then color to a room.

I really like the 2 pieces together. Looks great.
I would like to know, the show Income Property estimates that a renovation costs between 30,000 to 50,000 dollars depending what Scott is doing? BUT MY QUESTION is What is the REAL COST per project, and is the Labor being done by the home owner's? because after the home is done and staged there's NO way the renovation could be that Cheap. the appliances and the flooring alone cost up words of 20,000 not including a full bathroom redo , lets be realistic If HDTV pays for all the Labor and promotes the materials for the project then I can see yes a renovation would be around 30,000. SO please shine some light on the truth of Scott's projects, And the property brothers are the worst, i can see what a shitty job they do! the property never looks good when there done. SO Please email me with all the hidden costs Inquiring minds need to know!
