This furniture walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
This is one of my go-to furniture transformations to date. From Teresa at Andersen Seven, she took an old dresser and an old mirror and honestly made magic happen. I am so doing this… on something! Just wait and see how she made this mirrored dresser!
Remember these guys- They are now very good friends {I received two old dressers from Libby- this is not the one that I used. Couldn’t find the before picture {my computer crashed last week, and I’m still trying to find everything…but the dresser looked just like this one in every-way, except the top drawers were different.}
What I did
- Saved the mirror- which was cut into pieces to fit the dresser- $20
- Painted the dresser- Ralph Lauren- Regent Metallics- silver Base
- Purchased direct handles for $15
- Glued the mirror to the dresser using- Liquid Nails- Mirror adhesive ( in the silver and gold tube}
- Dresser- free from Libby
Here is a step by step look:
One more piece done.
Tips– Save all your old mirrors, you never know when, or how you will use them. I asked my glass guy how much it would have cost me if I didn’t have my own mirror. He said somewhere between $80 and $150. More if you wanted the ends beveled.
So if you are doing a bathroom redo and it has a big piece of mirror in it…SAVE IT! if you don’t want it, I will take it off your hands. =)
I have some fun options for the top of the dresser….I just put a few items on it for now….so it didn’t look so bare.
I AM IN LOVE!
I have always had a thing for mirrored buffets and side tables they are just so SNAZZY. (Is that a cheesy word! I need to say it again … sn-a–zzy!)
I am dreaming of all the options for this, cause GUESS WHAT, our friends had a wall in their house that was covered in mirrors, and they removed them and gave them to us… SO I have yet another few projects on my very long list calling my name… but they might just cut in line, now that my imagination is going! Thanks Teresa for letting me share this project!
