Five Dollar Dressers
This past week I found not one, but two $5 dressers at the local Thrift Saver. They’re not glamorous. Just simple, utilitarian dressers that get the job done. I was looking for one long dresser but when I spied two of ’em, I figured they’d work just fine. Here’s the after photo …
Both dressers were re-painted to look the same. ASCP Paris Gray with
ASCP Graphite on the knobs. A little distressing and waxing and they’re done!
This is the before. Knobs missing and the blue in reality was brighter (too bright) than the photo shows.
The drawers are in good working order and the dressers are sturdy.
And of course, I couldn’t leave well enough alone.
I decoupaged the top of each dresser with scrapbook paper I had lying around.
Both dressers are now in my son’s room, sitting side-by-side to replicate a longer dresser.
Other projects for his room include accessories like wall art,
maybe an alarm clock or one of those huge wall clocks, and some bedside lighting.
I could make over a little lamp I have on hand or purchase new lamps.
And the walls are going to need a new coat of paint. Ugh!
$10? Now that is a bargain! Could not pass that up, turned out great.
Love it…er them! I can’t believe you got such a deal AND already finished transforming them!
They look great! Nice find!
What a steal!!! You did very well and the redo is so much better than that ugly blue…good job.
I would of bought them too. Seems the dressers I have been seeing lately are way too much, which is probably a good thing for my garage.

Nice deal. They look great.
What a bargain , they look great !
Wow, you got a great deal, Jennifer, and they look wonderful now. I love it when a project comes together so nicely like this one, and you did it so affordably–well done!
Another great makeover … and I can’t believe you got such nice dressers for only $10.00. You’re either a super shopper or amazingly blessed!
That is a nice grey that you chose.
I think they look fabulous!!! Man our store never has anything for $5!

They look great and nice and fresh in the new paint colour. Can’t beat that price either.

Jennifer,
Great transformation!
