Vintage Tallboy Dresser Update

You know at Room for Tuesday we love a good furniture flip. I spotted this tallboy dresser two years ago on Craigslist and quickly scooped it up. I had nowhere to put it, and sadly it lived in the basement of our home in Ohio for a couple years. After persistent convincing from Emmett to sell it prior to moving, I ended up getting my way. You can probably guess the rest of the story. It made the journey in our Uhaul from Ohio to Utah and I finally decided to breathe new life into the thing! After all- I had to make my case that moving a heavy dresser across the country was well worth it. Click over to the Interior Collective to see the process, get the DIY on restoring vintage furniture, and to see what color I picked for this beauty!

Sage green!! You should’ve guessed. I’m definitely on a soft green kick lately.

Have you ever restored a piece of furniture? I’m on the hunt for a new dining table and chairs. I definitely wouldn’t be sad if I scored a vintage set that needed a little elbow grease!
