Dresser Makeover With DIY Leather Handles
I did a little furniture change in our workplace/sunroom through switching out the vintage cloth wardrobe that became in right here earlier than for this one that use to be upstairs in our bed room.
Moving furnishings up and down stairs isn't the funnest however switching round furnishings positive is an clean way to exchange up the look of a room, plus it would not value any cash...And you could get in a terrific exercise all on the identical time :)
I like using an extended wardrobe in our sunroom because it works fantastic as a place to put house vegetation after which it doubles as extra storage area. Our sunroom receives a variety of daylight and so my plant life do without a doubt properly in here subsequent to the home windows.
I additionally have my Bell Water fountain at the cloth cabinet now, which I by no means dared put on the vintage wardrobe because I turned into constantly afraid that the water may damage the dresser someway.
My bell water fountain use to be on a small stand and now I like having it jumbled together with my plant life.
I talk approximately this bell water fountain pretty lots because it's one on my most favourite things ever!
I've had it for years now and it nonetheless works perfectly. This fountain has little chimes that waft round and make smooth chime sounds that we listen during our domestic all day lengthy.
You can get one for yourself HERE*. It is a little pricey, but I think that it's worth it.
So after moving the dresser into our office/sunroom I decided that it could use a little makeover and so I made new leather handles for it. I've seen these leather handles done before and it's something that I've always wanted to try.
All I did was cut up an antique leather-based belt into six equal length pieces. And then I drilled holes wherein I desired the screws to go in. A bolt on the internal holds it all into vicinity.
And then for the middle drawers, I just gave the knobs a sparkling coat of a green/brown colour of spray paint and I suppose that they look amazing subsequent to the leather handles.
Before the knobs had been painted blue and the preceding handles have been broken and out of date. Here is a images of what the cloth wardrobe appeared like before while it was up in our bed room. Don't you compromise that the new leather handles make it appearance a lot higher now?
And Here is a picture of what the cloth wardrobe seemed appreciated even earlier than that. It's a piece of a blurry photograph, however you get the idea.
I'm additionally contemplating maybe including some feet to the dresser to upward push it up off the floor. But I'll save that for another day.
So if you have an old belt laying around, maybe there is something that you could add some leather handles to too. Maybe? I sure do love the look of mine.
Thanks for preventing by means of today.
I'm so glad you're here.
