LeCultivateur Happy Monday, friends!!! Today I’m super excited because we Tara and I are hosting our first thrift store challenge since March!
What is my thrifted find, you might be wondering? Well, you might be surprised, but it’s a piece of furniture, a dresser to be exact.
Her she is when I first saw her. A little beat up, and in need of some serious love….
My mother-in-law found this darling dresser for me at a Salvation Army store near her home. I love the shape, and of course, the castors are an added bonus!
I started by sanding down the top of the dresser and the drawer fronts.
I then painted the body of the dresser and the mirror, in the color “Revere Pewter” by Benjamin Moore. This is the first time that I’ve used this color, and I absolutely love it!!
A little more sanding and distressing and she was done!
I finished this dresser quite a bit different from what I’d normally do, but I’m completely loving it!!
Three mini white pumpkins, and fresh flowers from my garden, are the perfect finishing touches!

I hope you enjoyed looking through these fun thrifted finds!
Happy new week!!

Wow, way you chose to transform this to keep its vintage character is spot-on! And the way you’ve styled it for Fall looks amazing! Such a lovely statement piece now. Great job.
I love how your dresser turned out! It’s so pretty! Well done!
Love the look of this dresser! Did you put any kind of finish on the top & drawer fronts where you sanded?
Thank you so much!! I used clear wax to finish it
I just love how you finished this dresser, Emily. You’re right – it’s not your usual. It’s awesome though. Of course your styling is perfection too!
Emily! This came out so amazing. I love the colors. Great job. I am so glad to be back thriftin’ with you all!
As always Emily what a great transformation. The chest is a perfect piece for your home. Hope this finds you doing great and your new business is flourishing.
I love the pewter color! It’s so pretty. Now I want to redo my dresser like this.
