Updating an Old Dresser Without Paint

By | Before and After, Decorating, Projects

Do you have an old piece of furniture that you just can’t paint because of sentimental reasons?  Or maybe you just don’t want to make a commitment to paint?  I have one left over from my childhood, and I just can’t bring myself to paint it.  Today I have a way of updating an old dresser without paint, and I think you will like it.

 

Dresser Before - Updating an Old Dresser Without Paint

The furniture in question is an Ethan Allen dresser that we use in our bedroom.  A while back I decided to change the pulls, and that small step helped give it an updated look. In case you forgot, here is the before.

Here is the in-between.  There is nothing wrong with the dresser, but the look was too traditional for my tastes these days.  Even though I switched out the pulls and bought these new ones., the old mirror was still attached and looking a little granny.

While shopping at Home Goods, I found a new mirror that would be perfect for the bedroom and help give it the vibe I have been looking for.  It was less than $30.  The mirror is more sleek and not as traditional as the original.

Now I feel the look is complete at last.

I had to share the beautiful hydrangeas from Trader Joe’s.  I am loving that we now have that store in town.

It’s amazing what these two changes did to bring a younger look and feel to the room, and I didn’t even have to paint.

 

Cheers!

      Dana,

      I was feeling the exact same way about not painting this dresser. I love the updated look it looks classic yet modern.

      Cheers
