Turn your dollar store miniature chest into a dresser for your dollhouse bedroom! I love a good make-over and this one is so fun to transform. I will also be doing a mini make-over on a little wooden rocking chair and painting a bed. This is the second part of the fall/autumn Room-Box.

I like the dresser both ways but I think the second time makes more sense to the rest of the room. Love the rocking chair make-over!

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

I'm embarrassed to say I lost sleep over that silly dresser, after all it's just miniatures, there are way more issues in the world to loose sleep over, you know what I mean! lol I'm not even truly happy with it now, but I think once the entire room comes together..I'll be ok. The rocking chair though, easy simple and cute..why something's are challenges and why some are not..thanks for hanging in there with me!

@karanstirling8638 Год назад

Gorgeous fabric..love the rocking chair..everything finished beautifully. Thank you for taking us through ur thought process, sometimes decisions take longer than projects! ❤🏠❤

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

Isn’t that the truth! I do love that fabric, it’s so fun. Thank you for taking the time to watch! I’m excited about the next steps, things should really start to come together now. :)

@amydanos349 Год назад

Looks great! I love how you showed your trial and errors…thanks for keeping it real! I like the second one better 🥰

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

Yes…I make many mistakes…lol…I like the second one better too!

@paulaneary7877 23 дня назад

Love the end resut on the dresser! Doing art and making things has taught me to trust my instincts. If I am trying to "force" myself to like something or make it fit in, it is probably not working. Just change it! And this video is a good example. Great job!

@WhitneyLaBrie 23 дня назад

that is so true! I believe most things so through a little of an ungly phase but in this case it was stucj in the ugly phase! lol..I had to change things up!

@tinykeyholeminis Год назад

OH...I know exactly what that's like..🤣 all too well! I really like the first dresser, but I wasn't crazy about the knobs..the second dresser looks more modern with the ombre look..and like that one too...but I love those beads you used for the feet..maybe they would of looked good on the bed posts as well. Over all..total transformation..that would of been kool to see it in a time lapse..😁..I thought the chair came out so cute with that cushion. 🥰 Love the "Save yo Cash..and use yo stash!"🤩

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

thank you, I agree..the knobs...booooo...but also the scrap book paper, although I did like it..it just wasn't what I wanted next to the bedding..but anyway..long story short..Im happy now and when it is all done, the dresser will just be apart of a much bigger story!

@@WhitneyLaBrie I totally Agree 👍 🥰

@bonnieharris4538 Месяц назад

I'm so glad you mentioned the drawer pulls. I feel like I can mention it now, that they did not go. At all. 😂

@WhitneyLaBrie 28 дней назад

yes totally agree, I hated them! I think they would have been ok once the room came together, but as a stand a lone piece..booo, no way.

Your asterisk dot asterisk dot pattern came out way better than I expected. During the explanation I was like, 'huh?'

Yes, sometimes even I have no idea how it will end up and just pray it turns out, then other times I am totally confident in the process!

@margoreppert8241 Год назад

I thought maybe the top would look better blue. Loved the tutorial.

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

I have to say, I went back and forth on that myself! In the end, I went light to dark cause Im hoping I can add some fun accessories that really pop. :) so happy you enjoyed the tutorial! Thank you Margo.

@agneschrismer9946 Год назад

The 2nd one looks more fall like. Very cute

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

I completely agree. Everything worked out but for sure this felt like a total fail in the beginning.

@charlesperez9976 Год назад

You were totally right to rework the drawers,it just wasn’t realistic. The improvement was spot on! Hi,Tiny Whitney! I love seeing her😊

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

Yeah I struggled and I wanted to add a few other fun details to the dresser but after my disappointment and redo, I ran out of time, so it's a little plain, but I have so many other plans for the room that I think in the end, it will work just fine.

@charlesperez9976 Год назад

I adore your channel so very much. I am obsessed with the tiny potter by your friend,Ray! I purchased the rest that was on eBay,and I desire more!😊

@@charlesperez9976 omg!!!! Thank you so much. That made my day….no my week!!!!!

@tinynina76 Год назад

Oh, my goodness! I just love love love how you put colors together! I liked the first dresser but liked the second one more. Maybe with the accessories on the dresser plus the wallpaper you put behind it the "plainness" of the top of the dresser wont bother you or strike you as plain.(?) I really did get something out of your talk of color! Thank you. I will be watching this over and over until I retain the info! (Oh- I like how you redid the dresser, too!)

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

I agree totally…accessories make the room come together and I know it will be so fun in the end! Sometimes you just have to stop and go in a different direction!

I have to tell you that I am so happy to hear that. I love, love the idea of you working with your grand daughter. My grandma lived far away from me but those few times I was able to do things with her, I cherish. So happy to have you join me on my channel :)

@amosminiatures3945 Год назад

WOW thank you for the idea 🏠 it's beautiful

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

thank you! Yes you can do so many great things with those dollar tree pieces!

@Shari_A._ Год назад

I liked the original, except for the drawer pulls. I also like the one you ended with and I think once you get accessories on it it will be perfect. I have a table runner that would be perfect on top of it, sadly, it's life sized.. sorry.. hehe

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

Isn’t that always the way! Lol. Yeah I wasn’t feeling the pulls either…..thumbs down. I am looking forward to the accessories for sure. :)

@irenehough4441 3 месяца назад

It happens like that sometimes. Remember you made over a mini so you could always do another one and change them out at will.💐💐💐💐. I have gotten up in the middle of the night for my doll project also 🤣🤣I understand.

Second version of dresser suits your theme better.

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

Yes I agree….I could have done so many more details on the second but sadly I ran out of time. ;)

@jojosmumdorothy2829 Год назад

Maybe a mirror at the back of dressers or shelfs

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

Yes I love that! I have some ideas for sure!

@mandyflaniken1900 Год назад

I liked the dresser you did first BUT it didn’t “match” the bedding to me. The second version matches better. Great work… the things you do amaze me

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

I agree, I liked it but it just wasn’t right with the fabric. I think it could have gone in another room..but in the end…simple is just sometimes better! Lol

@conniedlawson Год назад

If you soak the DT furniture in hot water for a few minutes they will come apart really easy

@WhitneyLaBrie Год назад

Excellent tip!!! Thank you you’re awesome!

@DawnDavidson 5 месяцев назад

@sherrygibbs7547 26 дней назад

The painting on the dresser looks like a sunrise or sunset mural. 💖💖💖💖 Could you add an art deco mirror to the dresser? Or, hang a seasonal picture above it?

@WhitneyLaBrie 25 дней назад

You have great ideas! What I did was paint two mouse fall inspired paintings above the dresser and over all I thin it turned out pretty good, way better than I thought it would especially after my total fail!

@bonnieharris4538 Месяц назад

I'm guessing there's a whole art course involved, but I'm impressed and intrigued to know how you achieved that 'fade' up the dresser through the three colours you used. My attempt woulda just looked stripey, and you were not going for stripey at all were you?

@WhitneyLaBrie 28 дней назад

Years ago I took a class on tole painting. It was so fun, and in the class they did a lot of fading and it's been very helpful with many other projects over the years. I've used it a lot with painting landscapes because its great for showing different gradients in the sky. :)

whenever I paint plastic furniture I always spray paint it will a matte base coat of white. then after I paint it, I spray it will a clear coat so the paint won't scratch off. :) hope that helps!
