A nondescript white chest of drawers from Ikea is unrecognizable after the alteration. Photo was / is now

Many people love to create new and unusual interior items from old furniture. Some even buy old furniture for a low price, restore it, and then sell it. There are many different furniture remodeling ideas on the internet. So my friend was bored with a white chest of drawers, she decided to paint it.

This is how the dresser looked before repainting:

The dresser was completely white with black handles. First, the woman degreased the surface of the furniture, for this she used vodka. Then I made decors from self-hardening clay, glued them on the sides.

I attached pulp decors to the facades. The entire surface of the chest of drawers, with the exception of the three central drawers, was painted with paint in three layers, the color of the paint is Aberdeen. I glued gold leaf to the boxes and covered it with shellac varnish.

After the work done, the entire chest of drawers was covered with matte varnish. Then I added some dark wax to the grooves. Convex surfaces with the help of liquid gold leaf were highlighted with a dry brush effect. Installed new handles of an unusual shape in black and white.

Agree, a very cool and unusual reincarnation of furniture. A simple white chest of drawers has become a real work of art.

This is how it became after the alteration:

A little time, effort, money and imagination, and a new chest of drawers is ready. It is much more convenient and profitable than buying new interior items. In addition, a single piece of furniture will be very expensive. And here we see how, for a little money, a girl made a chest of drawers that matches the color of the main design of the room. So each of us can do, there is no need to be afraid that something will not work out.

Before you start reworking furniture, you can study useful tips from designers, of which there are a lot on the Internet. Various articles, videos will help you choose high-quality materials and correctly determine the sequence of work.

The owner of this chest of drawers doubted for a long time whether it was worth starting the alteration, but the result pleasantly surprised her. Now she is thinking about what else to redo in her apartment.
