Stenciled Furniture

This inexpensive, very large,  and very 80's 'esque' dresser was begging for a makeover. 

Unfortunately, this was my nightmare come to life in the shape of wood.

While this piece was hideous at best and was priced at $30.00 so it could not be passed up. It had tons of storage and the size was perfect.
The details on the drawers made this ugly dresser somewhat unique so a little love could transform this dusty old relic to glammed up tween bureau.


My nightmare was slowly turning into a happy dream.
 After a few coats of oil based primer, some holes were filled and new hardware was added.
White for the dresser so pops of color could be added around the room.


I used a Moroccan style stencil and a little gray paint to take this from absolutely frightful to funky and fabulous.
