Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping back by! Thank you to all who commented on my dresser makeover....it's been a really fun project. I am really excited to show you what else I did to my Grandma's little dresser, and I'd like to show you how I did it too!
We started out with a tired old dresser....
I revived it with a bold paint color, thanks for that word Brenda, that's what I feel like...it's been revived!
But what I didn't show you, the fun little secret I've been keeping, is what I did to the inside of the dresser!
I spray painted the sides, inside and out with my all time favorite color spray paint: Blue Ocean Breeze. I carefully masked off the drawer front and spray about three coats of the turquoise. All in all I used 2 cans.
Using gift wrap and Mod Podge, I lined the bottom of the drawers. Hounds tooth is one of my all time favorite patterns and I loved using it this way! Like a surprise each time I open the drawers!
Measure and cut the paper to fit each drawer, brush Mod Podge on and carefully lay the paper down. Smooth the air bubbles out using your handsBrush another layer of Mod Podge over the paper to seal it off, I used glossy Mod Podge
Let it dry over night and you are finished!!!
The combination of the black and white, turquoise and hounds tooth....Love it!!!
How fun is this?

Well I hope you're inspired to try a fun project on an old dresser, inside AND out! Thanks again for stopping by!

What a fun little secret. I adore the houndstooth. So pretty! I love the dresser revitalization too. :) Your accessories are a perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the dresser! I've been dying to do something with Blue Ocean Breeze.... maybe one of these days I'll find something to do with it!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue & houndstooth drawers ~ so fun! Your dresser looks so mod, love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic! I love houndstooth myself. My daughter's headboard is upholstered in a very large black and white, sort of like your wrapping paper. In fact, the more I think about it, your dresser would be adorable in her room. ;-) It's Tiffany blue! I bet it makes you smile everytime you open the drawers!
ReplyDeleteI adore that combination!! So fresh and fun!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from New Friend Friday. LOVE the colors!!
ReplyDeleteI love the drawer liners! I'm going to do this to my daughter's dresser immediately! I'm visiting from New Friend Friday :)

Gorgeous!!! Love that houndstooth!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love this! The inside of the drawers looks almost as pretty as the outside! Great rescue!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeletePerfect, perfect, I love it! And I came home with a can of that exact same paint yesterday, I'm going to spray a chandelier for my daughter's 60's inspired room (sssshhhh-it's a secret, ab-day gift for her). The color is awesome! I love it with the black and white, and will love it with the hot pink in her room too! I'm going to find a way to get that color into my living room next!
Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteWow. I adore this. Houndstooth is my favorite! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletedelightful as can be! I love the pattern with the turquoise together!
ReplyDeleteGenius! You have a terrific imagination. I'm afraid I would have passed that little dresser right by. Now it is magazine worthy!

ReplyDeleteLove it! And I have that same gift wrap!! I must remember this for my upcoming dresser re-do!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning Michelle! Thanks for linking to the Sunday Showcase! Hope you have a great week! ~ Stephanie Lynn
ReplyDeleteThat IS a fun surprise and much better than trying to tape paper and make it stay. Very inventive to paint the inside of the drawers and such a fun color. I too just love houndstooth.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the inspiration.
