FREE Roadside West Elm Dresser Gets Major Makeover

Finding a dresser on the side of the road can be hit or miss. When I threw this one in my car, I didn’t pay attention to anything about it until I brought it home. It was in pretty good shape overall, and when I looked for a furniture maker’s mark…..I saw it was West Elm! Now, there is nothing super special about West Elm’s furniture in terms of quality, but I use their designs for inspiration all the time so I was so excited to work on this piece.

Below is a full video on how I created this look. It turned out to be my absolute favorite dresser I have ever done!
