Happy Monday Friends!! I shared a sneak peak on Instagram over the weekend of the makeover our dresser in the dining room got, and I’m so excited to be revealing it today with you!
Here are a few pictures to show you what it looked like before. This dresser sits on the back wall of our dining room right before you enter the kitchen, and houses all of my serve ware dishes, seasonal candles, and the top drawer is strictly my junk drawer! Yes I know you were probably curious if I had one, and now you know where.
It was just the change I was hoping for, and I love how it feels in the space now. You will get to see how it looks in our dining room with the entire view, during my week of Thanksgiving Tables November 3-7. I’ve been busy working away creating 5, very different, tablescapes to share with all of you, and I hope you will join me and some of my favorite blogging friends. Until then, you can always catch up with me on the latest on Instagram (roomsforrent).
Mari says
Looks great! How did you apply the sunbleached stain so that it didn’t completely cover the walnut stain?
Bre says
Hi Mari, the sun-bleached stain has a thin consistency to begin with. So when I applied it I only let it sit for a few seconds and then rubbed away the access, until it covered it the way I liked 🙂
Marcia says
Love your work and thanks for sharing!
Kellie says
this is one of my favorite projects that you’ve done! You have inspired me to give it a try!
Angela says
Hello there! This piece looks fantastic! I am trying to accomplish the same look on my bedroom set which is all sanded down and already stained in the same walnut you used. However, I wanted to ask how did you apply the sunbleached stain to get this thin coverage of it. Thank you!!!
Aisha says
I absolutely love this piece. I just bought a piece that I would like to upscale. It is an antique and I got it for 20 bucks at a local yard sale. I am so excited to try this. Thanks for sharing the tips. Can’t wait to use this on my item. I pray it looks as good as yours. Thanks again.:-)
Arianne says
Beautiful!!! Did you apply a polyurethane after you stained?
Bre says
Hi Arianne! I didn’t apply a poly, but you totally could. I used furniture wax, but you can finish it any way you like. I think it’s more personal preference, and depending on how the piece is used you might want to take more precaution in preserving it.

It looks awesome and thanks for sharing the products and process you used to achieve the look. I might have to practice on a board first.
