FAKE WOOD Dresser Makeover!

Transform a FAKE WOOD dresser to match your personal style (or, if you're like me, flip for a profit)!

Most big box store furniture pieces (Ikea, Ashley Furniture, etc) are not real wood. They're typically particleboard or MDF (medium-density-fiberboard) underneath a very thin surface. This doesn't mean you can't paint it to give it a makeover though!

This MDF dresser got a total makeover with paint and some fun trimmed out burlap details on the drawers. Freshened up the hardware and added drawer liners and it's a totally different piece!

What do you think? Would you try this? Let me know in the comments below! 👇

I'm so glad I watch your video. You are straightforward and clear in your approach. The paper bag sanding tip is worth it'd weight in gold. Thanks So much! Awesome transformation, by the way!

Great job, everything was explained and done and it didn't take an hour.

You're amazing, Barista Bridget! ❤️

[hibashams]

the way you explain things is so clear and you have so much knowledge to share — really inspiring! currently staring at my vanity that doesn’t match anything in my room and dreading repainting it 😪

Excellent tips. I've done a few makeovers, but the topcoat with the paint and, frankly, all the tips (Zinsser 1-2-3 primer, etc.) are fabulous. You explain your steps well, too. I'm excited to get to my new project. Thanks.

Really nice job! You must have been refinishing furniture for a while because your work is so professional and even though you don’t have too many videos yet, you videos are so well done too.

Girl you’ve got a new sub here! I have the exact same dresser and was wondering if I could paint it. Thanks to this video now I know I can and I know how!! ❤

[randallbaker]

Really love the look of the burlap-faced drawers and the metallic pulls! I'm curious how much you sold it for?

[MonkeyhammerTP]

This looks amazing! I have a cherry color dresser which is in great shape but I'm tired of the dark color. I think I'm gonna give this a try because I was planning on donating the furniture so if I screw up, I won't feel too horrible.

Gorgeous! Did you seal the fabric with the top coat? Watching from Greece. Thanks so much for sharing
