ovaledasorquideas: Diy Herringbone Dresser

We late decided to mountain our TV on our fireplace DIY Herringbone Dresser

We late decided to mountain our TV on our fireplace, in addition to spell Jesse industrial plant on that situation, I decided to own got a petty fun amongst the thrift shop dresser that we've been using every bit our media console for the past times 2 years.

Using simply a petty flake of pigment in addition to around painter's tape, I created my ain petty version of a herringbone dresser.

In illustration yous never saw the master makeover of this dresser, here's a petty dorsum story. Two years ago, I institute this at a thrift shop for $20.

It was broken inwards simply almost every means possible, in addition to was missing all of its hardware. And every bit a bonus, a petty man child (apparently named Kevin) had carved his get upward into it almost 10 times.

Thanks, Kevin.

It was 1 of the worst pieces of slice of furniture I had ever brought home, but for around argue I was non deterred. So, I spent a lot of fourth dimension sanding, priming, painting, in addition to stenciling it, in addition to ultimately I created a pretty decent media console. It was aught special, but it did the task for nearly 2 years.
(See the master makeover here.)

This fourth dimension around, I decided to exercise something a petty different. First things first, I had to behavior on it upward because my aggressive vacuuming skills had actually done a number on this miserable thing. So, I painted the entire affair a actually lite shade of blue.

Once the entire dresser was painted a lite blue, I created the herringbone designing amongst tape.

What you'll need:

ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape

paintbrush or modest roller

paint

I took the drawers out of the dresser in addition to stacked them upward side past times side to each other on the flooring inwards the right order. Then, I created the below designing amongst my tape. This took a petty fourth dimension in addition to around lawsuit in addition to error, but actually wasn't hard at all. I simply used 2 long vertical pieces in addition to a bunch of brusk pieces inwards the center. I used a utility knife to cutting the record when it overlapped over 2 unlike drawers, in addition to simply wrapped the ends of the record over the border of the drawer.

Once the record was arranged inwards the herringbone pattern, I ran my finger along all of the edges to brand certain the record was firmly inwards place. Then, I painted over the record amongst my paint. I decided to create an ombre number past times dipping my paintbrush inwards around white pigment in addition to lightening upward the pigment towards the top.

While the pigment was notwithstanding wet, I removed all of the tape.
I don't know why, but this utilisation of the projection is ever the most fun.

I allow that utilisation completely dry, in addition to thence I created the final part. I wanted a modest line of piece of job on the exterior of the designing inwards a lighter color, thence I taped that upward separately.

And last, but non least, I reattached my hardware later spray epitome it gold.

And that's how I made my herringbone dresser!

Take that, Kevin.

I own got no sentiment where this petty creation is going inwards my theatre yet. For now, I simply styled it upward to accept a few pretty pictures thence that I could part it amongst you.

So, don't worry. The stone wall mirror will live returned to its rightful abode before long enough. :)
