Re: Upcycled vintage dressing table into...

Patsy60

This was my old vintage dressing table. We revamped, up cycled & integrated it, into the bottom section. For the top part we used old pieces of wood, dowel, handles & coloured vintage glass. Tiled in the check tiles. Added a benchtop.

Materials

grout & glue from Bunnings for the tiling.
nails & screws from Bunnings

paint for the whole kitchen from Bunnings.
dowelling from Bunnings

Pantry cupboard from Bunnings

Tools

Steps

Step 1

Revamped the bottom dresser.
Created the top retro part out of mostly off cuts.

Recycled old glass doors by painting them & using up top

sanded & painted old floorboards as the bench top

used dowelling to create the plate rack

tiled in the tiles

added a pantry on the side & used an old mirror and paper plates for decor

used faux stick on cling film on to the other doors, top and bottom to get the stained glass look

revamped old kitchen handles by decoupaging & painting left over wood as backing

boards

Hi @Patsy60,

Thank you for sharing this wonderful project.

What a unique retro kitchen cabinet you've made.

The bright colours and unique decorations give a great vintage vibe reminiscent of an old-school diner.

Congratulations on a brilliant project.

Hi Jacob

Thank you so much

We loved creating this retro vibe. Best of all it’s recycling & reinventing which we love doing. The kitchen now always makes me smile

No worries @Patsy60.

Completely agree. A project with recycled materials always feels that little bit better.

I'm so glad that it makes you smile. It certainly made me smile and I'm sure others will too.
