I thought it was a good time for an Upcycle Your Dresser collection…all having a Farmhouse Style. Upcycling is all about taking something that has been worn…used and has seen better days and turning it into something revived and fabulous. You can do it by simply cosmetically giving it a new look or take it a little further and transforming it in to something with a whole new purpose. We have both waiting for you here! One thing all of these dressers have in common is “good bones”. Always look for that beauty that lies within. So pour yourself a cup of your favorite brew…sit back…chill a bit and check out some real shining star Upcycled Dressers.
Meet “Ocean Breeze”
Orphans with Makeup
I have to tell you that this gorgeous piece makes my heart skip a beat…it’s elegant and would look amazing in a Farmhouse Setting but with it’s delicious color and treatment. It would be perfect for that special “Cottage or Coastal” look. Drop by and see how this piece was created.
Vintage Dresser Makeover with “Casement”
Saw Nail & Paint
This precious piece just needed a little bit of sanding…loving care and a great paint job. A POP of color was added by painting the knobs a fun aqua but of course any color would be fabulous. When a Farmhouse Vignette is added to the top…magic happens.

Now this Farmtastic Dresser went through two different cycles of Upcycle…first it has been repurposed from a dresser to a Kitchen Island and then it got a totally new cosmetic makeover. It’s perfect!

Ok…this is not exactly a dresser but it was just too good not to share. I mean it went from a simple 3 drawer chest and was transformed into an Industrial Farmhouse Treasure. You will find out how to make this incredible piece!
Charcoal Gray and Brass Antique Dresser
Number Fifty-Three
This paint treatment is amazing. A wonderful and unique touch for that focal piece in the room. What really makes this piece over the top is the mix and match hardware. Hardware can propel just about any makeover above and beyond.

Here is yet another 2fer…a cosmetic makeover and a repurposed upcycle. From Dresser to sensational Kitchen Island. I don’t know about you but I simply love this kind of upcycle.

Another great thing is if you find a great dresser that is missing some drawers…NO PROBLEM! : ) Enjoy!

Beverage Cabinet
Petticoat Junktion
I have to tell you something…I love what Kathy creates over at Petticoat Junktion…but this Upcycled Dresser turned Beverage Bar is my absolute favorite of hers…the piece that was made over was in such poor condition and looked basically like there was no hope…well Kathy didn’t see it that way. Come and see how she worked upcycle MAGIC! I need one of these : )
