Campaign Dresser DIY Makeover

Campaign Dresser Tutorial

Campaign Dresser DIY Tutorial

I think you could consider this the first of my Winter’s big girl room reveal posts.  I think.  Although now that this area I’m sharing below is all styled and finished, I am dying to share more than just the dresser makeover.  HOWEVER, this reveal is definitely blog worthy.  Drool worthy.

Last December, Mark and I purchased a cabin in the beautiful community of Big Canoe in the North Georgia mountains.  Otherwise known as “My Happy Place”.  You can see our full cabin makeover HERE.  With that cabin, came four Campainger dressers and four nightstands.  Yes, EIGHT amazing furniture pieces in all.  Although that was pretty much the only pieces even remotely keep-worthy that came with the home, they were pretty dang exciting for me.  I absolutely LOVE this style and immediately had big plans for some of them.  One had Winter’s name all over it.  Her existing dresser was the dresser/changing table that we purchased with her crib, well actually Addison’s crib, over eight years ago.  Eight years is equivalent to a century for me in terms of keeping home decor.  It might as well have been considered a Hayes’ vintage piece.  So I sold her former dresser and had Mark bring home the Campaigner dresser so I could get to work!  For more on Winter’s room renovations thus far, click HERE.

Here’s a pretty terrible iPhone image of the dresser in the cabin pre-renovations…IMG_6185

And here it is in our no-so-clean garage…

The Process

I wanted something cheery, bright, fun and colorful yet keeping with the original signature Campaigner style.  I chose three pastel colors that coordinated with the wallpaper in Winter’s room.  I chose a high gloss lacquer type paint/finish in every color.

Base Color: Glidden White

Top Drawers: Glidden Tawny Birch

Middle Drawers: Glidden Pink Mimosa

Bottom Drawers: Glidden Lime Foam

After

How sweet did this turn out?!?  I am in LOVE!  Obsessed I should say.  I way overuse that huh?  With a little trip to HomeGoods (side table, “W” and elephant) and a few of my faves from Woodshop of Alabama (monogram) and GlamFete (tassels) this little vignette is complete!  Can’t WAIT to share Winter’s full room reveal tomorrow!

    I have a dresser just like this that I’m getting ready to paint. I’m just wondering why you spray painted the hardware? I was thinking mine was brass and just needed to have the laquer removed and be polished up. Just wondering if I need to change my plan.

    Hi Brittany! Just wondering – I see the cans of paint say Behr- but you say glidden? Just want to make sure I get the right kind! Thank you!

Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue Green is my new blue... I've loved all things blue in my design work for so so long but this cabin has turned the tides for me and now it's all things GREEN! #sponsored From the tone on tone green to the colorful textural reflections in our @7levelhome custom metal frame glass cabinet doors.

A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... h A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... her very own little dressing area! #ad And a little hint hint for her to lay out her clothes the night before 😉 As y'all may have seen on my stories a few weeks back, I was deciding between two fun ideas during the C<span style="background-color: rgb(234, 212, 107);">reative Co-Op </span>#amazonprimeday and got y'all to vote. This full length mirror, pouf and ladder setup was the winner and my personal fave. Here's a peek at how it all came together and also take a peek at the Creative Co-Op brand store on Amazon for more decor like this!
I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

John and I took my love for all things colorful, m John and I took my love for all things colorful, meaningful and beautiful and married it with his functional, plant loving style for an outdoor kitchen styling makeover 💗 #ad Feels so cozy now that I just might start cooking dinner out here! Well… maybe once the Fall weather hits 😉 Sharing lots of affordable @walmart finds for the perfect indoor or outdoor space right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options. Sharing everything I used in this project right here… #Walmart #WalmartHome

Double Tap if you’re “Team Still Images” 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t worry… I absolutely am ♥️ It’s just been a while since I’ve actually gotten out my camera and photographed a space. Everything seems to be in every phase except completion. Except this space which incorporates every single thing I love in design… color, pattern, texture, warmth, meaningful touches and a piece of history…
