Chest Of Drawers Turned Into A Bench And Toybox
Sep 17
Well friends here is our latest furniture distressing project. This was a little different from some of our previous work as we had to do some re-purposing for this one.
We had an old chest of drawers that was sitting around in storage and was starting to feel the strain of the years.
This was actually the dresser Chris had as a child in his bedroom, and we had used it for a few years after getting married but we ran out of room and use for it so it got stored away.
After doing some brainstorming we decided to repurpose the old chest into something a little more amazing.
It was Angie’s idea and we LOVE how it turned out. It is going to make some little girl very happy.
We took the Skil Saw to it and after MANY tedious but extremely fun hours of work we turned it into a toybox/bench
This is perfect for a little girl’s room for sitting and storing.

I agree with Cathy, choppin’ down larger furniture to make smaller ones makes so much room and most of the time looks great!
Thanks for the post
