I’ve been patiently waiting for a nice second-hand wood dresser to appear on fb marketplace or at Goodwill for months. Finally, I grabbed this one yesterday for $50.

My inspiration for this project are some dressers I saw at Anthropology that have gorgeous carved details. But I want my dresser to cost $200 or less rather than $2,000.

Of course I can’t add actual hand-carved wood, but I’ve got clay and some silicon molds + epoxy and a potential overconfidence in my DIY abilities.

First up, I removed the existing hardware and sanded this pretty lady down. She is now looking MUCH better without all those terrible stains (and the drawer pulls weren’t doing it for her, tbh).

Up next, I’ll give her a paint wash or three and start trying my hand at faking some carvings!

Not a recent video, but I wanted to upload the longer version of this video just for the vibes. I published a more sped-up version a few years ago that has been popular on my YouTube channel.

In her video, shared July 9, Athar shows how she upcycled a large cardboard box to make a shelves and a closet to store clothes.

Athar used thread and a makeshift needle to attach the shelves and dividers in the cardboard closet.

Athar is on Instagram @ athar_abo_rabea. She is running a Go Fund Me campaign to support her volunteer work with displaced children and families. (URL: https://gofund.me/c3f690dc)

Make shelves for the front of the screen from leftover plywood... Apply veneer tape to the edges of the shelves, if desired. Stain or paint the shelves or cover them with fabric. Support the shelves on shelf brackets, use a level when you are mounting the brackets. Attach full-length mirrors to the end panels.

Hey, don't cry. Gather some fabric scraps, matte Mod Podge, a paintbrush, a hot glue gun, some cool trim, and a lampshade that needs a makeover. Cut the scraps and iron them, then paint Mod Podge on the lamp and stick the scraps onto it in sections until it's completely covered, tucking edges under the lampshade rim. Carefully paint Mod Podge overtop of all the fabric and let it dry. Hot glue any edges that still need tucked or didn't stick as well, and then hot glue the trim around the edges of the lampshade, finishing with a folded edge on the trim for a clean look, okay?

(This only took about an hour and a half and was super fun! My victim was a thrift store lamp.)
