Home Interior: 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 plant on that situation, I decided to conduct maintain a trivial fun amongst the thrift shop dresser that we've been using equally our media console for the past times ii years.

Using only a trivial combat of pigment in addition to approximately painter's tape, I created my ain trivial version of a herringbone dresser.

In representative you lot never saw the master copy makeover of this dresser, here's a trivial dorsum story. Two years ago, I constitute this at a thrift shop for $20.

It was broken inward only nearly every agency possible, in addition to was missing all of its hardware. And equally a bonus, a trivial man child (apparently named Kevin) had carved his advert into it nearly 10 times.

Thanks, Kevin.

It was 1 of the worst pieces of slice of furniture I had ever brought home, but for approximately 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 zilch special, but it did the task for nearly 2 years.
(See the master copy makeover here.)

This fourth dimension around, I decided to practise something a trivial different. First things first, I had to comport on it upward because my aggressive vacuuming skills had actually done a publish on this misfortunate thing. So, I painted the entire affair a actually calorie-free shade of blue.

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

What you'll need:

ScotchBlue™ Painter's Tape

paintbrush or pocket-sized roller

paint

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

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

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

I permit that occupation completely dry, in addition to and thus I created the terminal part. I wanted a pocket-sized occupation on the exterior of the designing inward a lighter color, thus I taped that upward separately.

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

And that's how I made my herringbone dresser!

Take that, Kevin.

I conduct maintain no visit where this trivial creation is going inward my theater yet. For now, I only styled it upward to accept a few pretty pictures thus that I could part it amongst you.

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