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.

It may be five years later but this week Ab and I It may be five years later but this week Ab and I are finally finishing this tile! 🙌🏻 In my procrastination defense, I WAS going to put a shelf right there but then I changed my mind... 4 years and 11 months ago now 🤦🏻‍♀️ Better late than never! Excited to make 2021 the year I mark stuff off my list! 💗💗💗 What house project are YOU dying to get done this year?
My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and A My home is celebrating it’s 113th birthday and Ab and I are celebrating our first successful project of 2021 AND the first completed week of our new blog schedule! Yep, our penny tile mosaic super detailed tutorial and reveal is LIVE on the blog as well as three more posts this week. Pop over and sign up to follow along! P.S. If you’re wondering why I chose to orient the saying this way, I pondered it for a while. In the end I chose this way because we literally never ever use this back door. Anyone entering our home either comes through the front door where this is visible down the hallway, up the basement stairs where this greets them at the top or around through our laundry room or family room. Basically when your 1908 home has a million exterior doors, most end up going unused. HAPPY FRIDAY!!! ❤️ Oh and P.S.S. This wallpaper, trim color, artwork and all of the tile details are on the post!

Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a Ever feel like you’re going to battle choosing a paint color? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Looking for the perfect creamy white/blue-green gray combo and tested out quite a few today. What are your faves of either? Sharing some sneak peeks at our cabin progress and my design plan on stories today! Oh and the full reveal and detailed tutorial of the penny tile mosaic we were working on last week is live on the blog today!
Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend Did a little rustic wood shopping over the weekend which meant I just had to snag another cutting board 💗 See it over there looking all cute? I think this one just might be cutting board wall worthy! 😉 Sharing more of my finds on stories today. Several new projects coming soon from my finds too! Also thought I’d take this “cleaned my kitchen just for this picture” opportunity to answer two of my most asked questions... what is your cabinet color and what are your countertops? My cabinets are a 50/50 color mix I created when I was determined to find the perfect blue-gray mix. It’s a full strength, equal mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray. My countertops are Calcutta Reale marble and I’m sharing all of my thoughts about marble in a kitchen on the blog! Link in bio!
2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed u 2021 coming in HOT! 🔥 Ab and I both “showed up today” for a full day of work in a full face of makeup and well... THIS. Links anyone? John’s socks are mighty cozy! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Baby steps into the new year. Baby steps. In other news, my closet is next on the list for completion! A few finishing touches and I’ll finally share it all on the blog ❤️
P.S. For those about to ask, the built-ins are a 50/50 mix of SW Stardew and SW Uncertain Gray at full strength just like my kitchen cabinets and main level interior doors and the island is BM Dark Harbour. HAPPY FRIDAY!
Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Ca Hello 2021! We are back and READY FOR IT ❤️ Can’t say I’ll miss 2020 or even 2019 quite honestly. So dang ready for a new year and all kinds of new beginnings. From new projects to new business ventures and all kinds of big personal life changes, hoping 2021 is everything we are all praying it can be. Today on stories we started our first project of 2021 that’ll hit the blog next week and I wrapped up my first soon-to-be weekly inspirational/motivational/personal/raw and super real blog post that’ll be live on Monday. Missed y’all! ❤️❤️❤️
All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renova All is Merry & Bright ❤️... My love for renovations just went pint-sized! I cannot even tell you how much fun Ab and I have had on this mini little renovation. #ad Winter asked for a Barbie dreamhouse for Christmas and I just couldn’t hold back. The only problem was that I only had a day or so to go and we were still wrapping twine for chandeliers and spray painting furniture… oops! Thank GOODNESS for @walmart and Walmart+. By becoming a member of Walmart+, you can save nearly 2.5 hours per week with free delivery from your store on orders $35+ (Savings based on 3 store trips per week. Excludes time spent shopping online. $35 minimum order. Restrictions apply.) With our family Christmas party last night and Winnie at home all week, sneaking off to the store wasn’t really an option. I needed a few extra dollhouse supplies and a few things for the party tonight so I hopped online and logged into my Walmart+ account. Sharing LOTS more on stories today! And, in other exciting news, Walmart+ recently introduced Walmart+ free shipping, no order minimum on items from Walmart.com with two-day or next-day shipping options (Excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items)! #Walmartplus http://liketk.it/34yWz #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKhome http://liketk.it/34yWT
My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This gi My very own sidekick WONDER WOMAN 👊🏻 This girl right here demoed out this entire cabin with her own two hands in 24 hours. A million pounds of junk and carpet and tack strips and everything in between. We just might have had a little fun on stories today documenting some of it too! Now it’s time for DESIGN!!! Eeeeekkkk!!!! If only y’all could’ve been a fly on the wall watching us take these pix 🤦🏻‍♀️ We finally decided, after a million failed attempts with a tiny phone tripod perched on the hood of my car, to video and then screenshot the best moment. Genius Ab. GENIUS!!!
