Dumpster Dresser to Boho Diva

September 23, 2015 · by: Jen 7 Comments

Rescued dumpster dresser to boho chic diva - Antique dresser makeover by Prodigal Pieces

If you saw this dresser by a dumpster in the middle of winter would you take it home with you?  Larissa did, and she gave it the love and attention it deserved to turn it into a boho chic beauty.  She says “It pays to have friends watching out for you when you work on furniture.  This Dumpster Diva was looking so sad and worn, and my friend wondered if I’d even want to take it on.  I love a good challenge and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.”

Read about the repair process and creative transformation techniques for this dresser makeover at Prodigal Pieces.

    I love a good road-side/dumpster find 🙂 Those have been some of my best makeovers. Love what was done with this one – it has such a beautiful shape it makes me completely happy to know that it was given a new life! Hugs, Lisa
