Pinterest Inspired Dresser

 

This dresser was inspired by this picture from Pinterest. 

 I just loved the triple red stripes.  They just spoke to me.

I love finding beauty in simple things.

Here was what the dresser looked like before 

except the sides were covered in warped veneer.

I scraped away what was bubbled up and,

then simply nailed thin 1/4 in plywood over the top.

I used good old frog tape for my stripes on each drawer.

I wanted to add a little character to the top so I 

did contrasting stripes.  I had intended on painting the stripes red, but

once I took off the tape I just loved the wood peaking through.

I LOVE how it turned out.  I changed out the knobs to

some metal oil rubbed bronze for the final touch.  

This piece is off to our church fundraiser.  

I wanted it to appeal to a broad audience so that is another reason I 

left the wood tones instead of the red.
