Good Tuesday morning!! The birds are singing and the sun is warm. Yep, you can feel spring in the air. Love it!! That also means it is wedding season. That’s why I need/want to share a dumpster dive dresser turned wedding shower beauty. You are gonna love this!!
Isn’t she lovely??? Doesn’t she look beautiful??
After some good old TLC she looks amazing!!
This is how I found her. Yep, right next to our dumpster. Just a shell of a dresser.
Our son was getting married and we were hosting an Open House for him. I knew I needed this dresser. I had big plans.
I painted her with primer. I then dry brushed Teal Lake by BHG to fit the motif of the Open House.
We used her as a drink station for the open house serving fruit water and various hot chocolates. She looked lovely and added ambiance to the evening.
Since Hubby isn’t handy in the wood crafting department, I knew I had to give this lovely away. But, I couldn’t give her away to just anyone. It had to be someone who would appreciate her.
My cute friend Barbara came to mind right off the bat. Her hubby is a talented wood worker and could bring this beauty back to full life after Barbara’s simple and elegant touches.
I made the best decision ever!! Can you believe this is the same dresser?? Her hubby made drawers to fit just right so it could be an actual functioning dresser. Notice the chunky feet that were added. They add character and texture.
After adding a white wash Barbara wanted some glass drawer pulls. They add just the right touch, don’t you think?? Barbara had a vision and was able to pull it off beautifully!!
For a wedding shower she was hosting, Barbara shopped her house and brought out all of her touches to add a vintage feel, and a small touch of color.
I was so happy to find my dumpster dive dresser.
Now she is dumpster dive dresser turned wedding shower beauty!
I arrived to Barbara’s just before the wedding shower started so I could see the dresser and she her magic touch everywhere. Amazing!!
If you remember, Barbara and I went shopping at the floral market last week. After I gave her the floral tips for longer lasting blossoms, this is what I found:
In 80 degree weather, her gorgeous florals looked incredible. They were fresh, full, and ready join the dumpster dive dresser turned wedding shower beauty!!

I love how it turned out, the teal was so pretty too. My favorite part are the beautiful knobs. Great work :)
Thank you Amanda!! I think she looks great, too. Come back again very soon!!
I loved the teal you used for your open house! It looked fab all draped and dressed up :) The wedding shower version is beautiful too. This is a dresser with many lives! It always makes me happy to see a piece given a second chance (and in same cases a third or more). Well done!
