You may remember my dresser turned entry table that i posted about here, and then i got a new entry table that i posted about here. Well, i have taken the old entry table and turned it into a bench.
When i was building the old entry table (in its former life it was a dresser), before i had added the legs i thought that it would be a pretty cute bench, but i didn’t need a bench. Well, i still don’t need a bench and that’s why I’m selling it, but i still wanted to post it to show you guys – and maybe you have an old dresser lying around that could be modified? Plus it makes a very unique bench with a little storage.
I actually love the idea of having a bench at the end of my bed – somewhere to throw the pillows, and it makes another space that i can decorate :) So i will be making a bench for the end of my bed soon – another project for another day :)
1st life…
2nd life…
3rd and current life…
Close up of the molding – one of the things that i LOVE about this bench/dresser thingy :)
By the way, i know that i have never posted about the board and batten treatment that i did in my room a while ago – i will have more time for blogging beginning next week and i have a ton of stuff to post :)
Also, the legs that i took off from my old entry table are undergoing a transformation as well…i will be sure to show you guys some pics soon.
Can I just say that I am IN LOVE with your home?!?!?!??!?!?
Leg or no legs, that piece of furniture is a beauty! Only because you've made it so though.
Don't you even THINK about moving or touching this piece after this last makeover! WOW!!!! It looks like a million bucks!
Totally blown away here. It's so lovely at the base of your bed. How I wish I had room for a piece like that in my room.
Stunning!

I L-O-V-E this as a bench! It's got me thinking about trying to make one.
That spot at the end of the bed is perfect for that bench!
I like it even better at the end of your bed! And your bedroom is so pretty!
Mine is in need of some love and I'm collecting ideas. I've saved yours to my idea folder.
I love it the best as a bench! I would keep it too at the end of the bed.

Wow, you are very, very talented!
amazing…I really like the use of the curtain rod with wreath in the second use too.
Love the remake at the end of your bed! You're very talented to say the least.
Hi!! I absolutely LOVE What You Do!!! And I have a tall dresser similar to the one that You performed surgery on, and would like to do that to mine!! I want to make it a night stand and paint it either white or black. I have one question though,after the dresser has been cut in two, with center removed, how do I attach the bottom piece to the top? Is it pretty simple? What Hardware would you suggest?
I love your site sooo much! haha! I'm losing sleep just thinking about all of the projects I can create! Thank You so much for sharing your creative Gift with all of us!!
