I’ve been working on so many projects around my house lately! Between that and actual work, there’s little time for blogging. But the wait is worth it because I have a fabulous DIY project to share with you! I recently created this DIY Inlaid Bone Dresser with an awesome stencil kit and a vintage dresser I bought at a yard sale for $50. I got the idea the same place I get all my other ideas… Pinterest! I pinned a bunch of inlaid bone and mother of pearl dressers and eventually came across various stenciled ideas. Then all the Pinterest stars aligned at once and I found the perfect stencil kit and the perfect inspiration photo!
I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! When I bought the dresser (mine is on the right), it was at a neighborhood yard sale and seemed to have been in a little girl’s room because there was purple sparkle nail polish spilled on it. I just took that as a sign that it was meant for me! It was stained dark wood and pretty dinged up. I just gave it a good sanding with my power sander and smoothed everything out by hand then primed with Kilz Primer. I used the left over Sherwin Williams paint from my kitchen cabinets as the base color (colored matched to BM’s Kendall Charcoal) and the white stencil color (Sherwin Williams Snowbound). The stencil kit is from Cutting Edge Stencils. It was so easy to use! I didn’t really pre-measure much, I just done right in and it turned out beautifully!
Lucy is delighted with the finished dresser! Now that all that work is done I can spend more time taking her to the park!
The drawer hardware is from Anthropologie, and I bought the lamp back in the Spring time at TJ Maxx.

OMG! I cannot believe you made that yourself! It look absolutely amazing! Want to come do that to my dresser too? 🙂 You are so talented! I’m not crafty at all!
P.S. Your dog is so cute! I have a chocolate lab too 🙂

I didn’t know you have a chocolate lab! I read your blog all the time!
This is GORGEOUS!! So unique, and I just love the pattern! It looks like it took a long time to do, but it turned out beautiful! Thanks so much for linking up with us at Motivational Monday!! 🙂
Thanks for checking it out! Yes – it did take a long time, but wasn’t really that hard. I think it will be a while until I stencil again though!
Love this! Nice work!
Thank you!
Fantastic job!!!!
Thanks Vicki!
Hi Tori! Denise with Salvaged Inspirations posted your dresser and I love it. I have been wanting to try this. I look forward to following your blog now. I too am a dog mom. I have a 90 lb. Pit Bull (Gracie) and she is my sole companion.
Great job on the dresser!
Thanks so much for you comment! I’ll have to look up Salvaged Inspirations to find her post 🙂 And I’m so happy to meet another dog mom, especially a big dog mom. Give Gracie a treat from me!
