When is a dresser more than a dresser? When it is transformed into something so much more than boxes of wood to hold clothes. Your dresser is likely one of the most used pieces of furniture in your bedroom. Why not make it beautiful?
Dressers are so versatile they have made their way out of the bedroom and throughout the entire house. They can be used as an entertainment center, sofa table, dining room sideboard, entryway table or hallway accent. If you have a second-hand dresser you’re not in love with, it’s time to make some changes and create something new. I searched the wide web to find the best makeovers diyers have created on their own, they all did an amazing job repainting and upgrading a regular dresser into something amazing! Here are my top 9 dresser makeover ideas!
