Repurposed Drawers made into Shelf




Made into a shelf stand from dresser drawers we had laying around.    Stained the shelf and painted the front drawers bright teal green and then added some light brown wax.  Super cool!  I was thinking could be used in kitchen for veggies, fruits, or a side pantry.  For restroom to hold towels, etc.

Dresser Converted Into Kids Armoire Dress up Closet

Okay, so one of my previous buyers asked if i could do this project for her something she seen on Pinterest.  It was a old dresser or tv cabinet converted into a Armoire for kids.  So I had some dressers with no drawers and some with missing ones.  She picked this one.  



So I sanded it, added some boards to stabilize it and added a shelf.   Covered up some holes to make it for knobs as it had handles.  


She wanted it painted white,  with lavender knobs (the knobs are pretty flowers).  She is going to fabric the inside and add a rod in the middle.  


I just LOVE IT!  Really good idea Laurie.  Thank you!

Consider H Willett Dresser with a updated new look....

This was before when we got it the 3rd drawer was messed up as you can see and the paint job was not the best nor was the color....



So after sanding it down to the wood and repairing the drawer, also repairing other small details.  I looked at it and thought....what color does she need to be?  She is big and beautiful so she needs a color that would make her stand out but not too much. 

 So I decided on one of my colors that I love GREEN!  Then I added some handles and knobs to make her look even more gorgeous!



Then I added a very slightly aged look to it with some light brown wax.  Not to much just enough.


She is very solid heavy wood and very roomy.  I think she looks much better now.....

Green Rustic Church Pew Bench

Found this old church pew in pieces.....so we sanded it down, did some gluing and screwing....was missing the bottom piece for the compartment so we had to make one to fit.....


And here is is!  I painted it green and stained the back and bottom pieces.  Then I stenciled 2 patterns in the middle green and added 2 door handles on the side to hand things on.  





It flips up on the seat stained in there also.


It came out so gorgeous!  This pew took alot I mean alot of work especially putting it together.  But, it was worth it.

Rustic Black Desk Table

Before .....


Had a particle board top that was warped.  So we took that off and sanded down the wooden bottom.





Had some loose cedar boards, sanded them down and used them for the top.

After....


Painted the bottom black, polished up the handle which is gold color.  




Stained the top and added polyurethane to seal it.  I just love it!  I think it could be used as a desk or a kitchen table.
