Dressers to benches.

I'm in a groove. 

The benches groove. 

I see benches all over now. Well they are in my mind. 

I've done a few of these. 

Dressers to benches. 

Normally I do them because something is so massively wrong (in my mind any way) that I can't just refinish them. 

Sometimes it's a missing drawer, sometime the tops are so warped I can't fix it. 

Or as in this case the top was warped and there was a terrible stain in the top I simply couldn't get it out. 

So I switched it to this. 

 Don't you love it? I do. I did a base of blue chalk paint then covered it in a grey paint...then distressed like crazy!

 The original pulls didn't look right so I found these in my stash and thought they fit so much better :)

 I love the curve!

 That back is made with only two solid pieces of wood and I had to highlight it. I couldn't just leave it alone

I'm going to be so sad to see this one go. But I know that come Monday when it's new owners pick it up it will be loved just as much if not more by them. 

Now a sneak peek of two more I've been working on this week. 

 I don't have a before picture, but it used to be an old TV console. So very solid even though I bought it without the TV in it. Nice because I didn't have to rip that part out.

And this one. It used to be an old Stereo console. Again, a French Provincial style. Sadly I had to rip the guts out of it. Now let me tell you that was NOT FUN! 

Full story when I get it done. I can't wait to share :)
