Mid Century Modern Dresser and Nightstand Receive a Modern Update

04 Saturday Mar 2017

I am SO excited to share my transformation of this dark dated Mid Century Modern dresser and nightstand set!

Do you Remember these old things?

I knew I wanted to update it’s tired worn look to be Modern and Dramatic but I didn’t know how. After I carefully sanded one of the feet and saw this beautiful wood grain I knew he could be transformed into something Bold and Dramatic!

I carefully sanded and sanded, and applied stain to the curved drawers fronts. Wow I was so surprised to find amazing burled wood under all that dark dated stain!

I sanded the cases but the tops were badly water damaged from plants. The veneer was chipped, loose and missing in some spots which only left me with no other option but to paint them. The loose veneer was glued and clamped for 24 hours. All the chipped veneer was patched using Bondo and sanded. I wanted to rescue the wood reveal to show off their unique design. It took some tricky taping, but I was successful 🙂 The remaining pieces received 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of crisp white paint, sanding between each coat.

mcm Nightstand

As I worked on them I fell in love with their craftsmanship. Just look at these hand craved his and her jewelry holders ♥️ 

I love how the pure white paint lightens and brightens them allowing their amazing lines and burled drawer fronts to be the heroes now.  Stunning – AND I did it with a dated piece of furniture, stain, paint and some elbow grease!

I bet you will never look at a disregarded piece of furniture the same again.

Are you now a up-cycle believer now?

DIY Faux Gilded Insect Taxidermy

16 Tuesday Aug 2016

Posted by Lori Holdenried in DIY

DIY, Recycle, Upcycle

Can you Believe this Stunning DIY Faux Gilded Insect Taxidermy was done with a Tweens plastic bug collection!

I had some fun on the weekend doing a little DIY painting giant plastic bugs gold! I am redoing a Tween girls bedroom and she is a nature lover. She had a set of giant plastic bugs she did not want to part with so I came up with the idea of repurposing them into wall art in the form of Faux Taxidermy.

A trip to the craft store for wooden plaques, paint and a hot glue gun is all I needed to turn her treasures into a work of art!

DIY Gilded Insect Faux Taxidermy

Materials Needed:

  • Large plastic insects 
  • Spray primer and gold metallic spray paint
  • Wooden plaques – various sizes/shapes
  • Fine grit sandpaper
  • Primer
  • Paint colour of your choice for plaques
  • Liquid gold leaf
  • Hot glue gun
  • Command hanging strips

Step 1. Shop: If you don’t already have a collection of large plastic insects, head out to your local toy store. With insects in hand head to your local craft store and layout your wooden plaques and insects. This might seem strange to do in the store but your bugs will be different sizes and you want to ensure a good mix of sizes and shapes.

Plastic bugs
Plaques
Layout

Step 2. Prime & Paint Bugs: Layout bugs, prime both sides and allow to dry thoroughly. ( note: It is important to ensure your primer says it will bond to plastic). I primed and painted both sides with 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of Gold metallic spray paint. Leave over night to dry completely.

13876145_10154346952143554_2679318945717064906_n
13912366_10154346952338554_2676867786718256673_n

Step 3. Prime and Paint Plagues: Prime and paint the plaques with 2 coats of paint of your choice. Leave over night to dry completely.


Step 4. Mount the Gilded Insects: Touch up any imperfections on your insects with liquid gold leaf, allow to dry and mount your gilded insects to the plaques using hot glue. Hold the insects in place while the hot glue drys to ensure they are firmly attached.

Touch up insects

Step 5. Finalize layout: I finalized my layout before attaching the gilded insects to the wall because I used command adhesives and once they are in place they are not easily moved.   

 

Step 6. Hang and enjoy!

Faux Taxidermy

 

Stunning – AND I did it with a tweens collection of plastic insects and paint!

I loved getting to use my creativity to make something they will cherish out of stuff people had given away.

I bet you will never look at a pile of plastic toys the same again.

Are you now a up-cycle believer now?
