Description: I was looking for an affordable dressing that would both offer a wide storage space and fit with the classy neo-baroque style of my bedroom. The 3 doors Aspelund dressing appeared to have just the perfect size and the perfect price but looked a bit too ordinary and lacked stylishness.
To revamp it and make it match another dressing of mine, I chose 2 wooden ornaments to adorn the two side doors of the dressing, making sure they would be large enough to fit elegantly the long center space.
Before assembling the dressing elements, I glued the ornaments on the center of the doors with wood glue, symmetrically. Once dry, I first painted the front and side dressing elements with a special primer, then gun-painted them with two coats of white mate paint in order to get rid of the fake patina style finish.
Once perfectly dry, I assembled the dressing and replaced the doors knobs with country style brushed nickel knobs with a design that reminded me of the wooden ornaments design.
The result : a unique, stylish AND AFFORDABLE large dressing!

ReplyDeleteLove this! Clever way to make this wardrobe more feminine and glamorous.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love adding moulding pieces to plain fronted pieces. I'm going to use this technique for a Hemnes dresser I'm making into a cutting table. Good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments ! Sorry for the late reply - I've just seen the post. I bought the wooden ornaments in a renovation store, such as Home Depot. They can be found in the moulding section.
