Shabby Chic Stenciled Dresser  – How to Get an Elegant Painted Dresser from a boring brown vintage chunky dresser by adding an elegant gold stencil to a painted dresser

Shabby Chic Stenciled Dresser

This vintage painted shabby chic stenciled dresser makes me want to hashtag! #shabby #chic # romantic #classic #elegant #classy #regal #cream #luxury..  OK OK.  I’ll stop.  But on a serious note, I love how this stenciled dresser transformed from boring to beautiful. Sometimes it’s those ugly ducklings that really surprise you.

The Unfinished Vintage Dresser

This chunky vintage dresser from the 1970s has good ‘bones’ but was boring.  I wanted to make it beautiful yet elegant.  From looking at the ‘before’ photo it seems hard to imagine this piece looking anywhere near elegant but I’m a determined artist.   As much as I normally like to keep the original vintage hardware when possible I decided that these pulls had to go!  I must have dozens of this style in my shop, I’m simply not a fan.

One cool thing about this dresser is that it already has its own special characteristics before I even touched it.  Inside the spacious clean drawers are a newspaper print lining the bottoms.  How cool is that?

A Shabby Chic Painted Dresser Makeover

After prepping the vintage dresser it was painted with a neutral antique white base and then a gorgeous stencil design was added to the drawer fronts in a soft gold.  The hardware was replaced with awesome Chippendale style pulls from D. Lawless Hardware making this chunky boring dresser a new elegant and romantic piece. The stenciled dresser was also distressed along the edges for a shabby chic feel.

Shabby Chic Stenciled Dresser
