Please know that I’m FURNITURE PAINTER, not a furniture purist. You can expect lots of Tutorials, DIY’s, How-To’s and Thrift with Me videos!

Video Description

I spotted this vintage dresser sitting out for trash—and let’s just say, it wasn’t much to look at. No fancy veneer, no elegant hardware… just a tired little piece that had clearly seen better days. But something about it told me it wasn’t finished yet. Instead of trying to restore what was never meant to be a showpiece, I decided to give it an entirely new story. With a few tools, some paint, and a vision of breezy coastal charm, I set out to turn this forgotten dresser into something that feels right at home in a beach house—or maybe even a cozy little nursery. In this transformation, I’ll take you through every step—from prep to paint to the hand-painted stripes that bring the whole thing to life. The final look is soft, relaxed, and full of character—and you might be surprised by how far this dresser came from where it started.
