Updated Dresser and Mirror

I think you are going to love the outcome of the dresser and mirror. 

They now look wonderful together. 

(See how I transformed the dresser.)

My son's room                  I love the turnout!

-The First update was the mirror - 

Wood was added to the mirror to beef it up.

For the dresser I stained the wood with a vinegar and steel wool solution and Minwax - Special Walnut wood stain.
The stain was still wet in this picture.

Here I still needed to sand and stain the dresser to match the drawers. 

I spray painted the handles with Rustoleum American Accents Metallic.

The dresser now looks old and rustic. Perfect for my son's room.

I used the vinegar solution here too!

I loved the turnout but now the dresser looked horrible!

The dresser had an orange oak type stain. I was using more of a walnut color in the room. I knew I would have to change it.

The mirror is a full length mirror turned sideways.

Before I redid the mirror and dresser.

Do you remember how the wagon wheel lighting looked? I used Rub 'n Buff on it and made the ceiling medallion. I added the glass shades too!

Here is the post on making the ceiling medallion.

I wish the wagon wheel lighting could be lower. My husband is very tall! 
 He is 6'4" without his shoes on.

It was a lot of hard work but so worth tweaking the mirror and dresser. My son loves the changes.

My next project for the room will be 

window treatments. I really think you're going to like them :)

 I 'appreciate' all your visits. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to comment. 

Thanks so much for following me. You make doing what I do so much more fun. I feel loved!!! Thank You!
