Love this project. I will not be doing it to a dresser but have chosen something else this will look really good on. The colour is really soft and would consider this also for my project. New subscriber 🥰

[@PeonyandHoney]

I just sold the dresser two years later in mint condition!!!

[@aaliyahcampbell3765]

I love this!!!

[@PeonyandHoney]

Aww thank you so much

[@royyyyyyyyyy]

Good idea to paint the dresser the same as the wall

[@PeonyandHoney]

Thank you! I just thought it would help the dresser blend in a bit better and give the illusion of more space in a tiny room

[@Faithy100]

Thank you so much for this!!I will definitely do it!!

[@mayahernandez4660]

So pretty! Where is the hardware from?

[@PeonyandHoney]

Maya Hernandez just grabbed a set from HomeGoods nothing too fancy

This is insane 😍😍 so gorgeous! I also love how you styled the dresser on top 💗

[@PeonyandHoney]

Awww thank you so so much!

[@youtubegirly98]

OMG. THIS IS EVERYTHING. AM I MAKING A TRIP TO IKEA NOW???

[@PeonyandHoney]

Haha yassss do it!!

[@youtubegirly98]

I actually have one of those dressers from ikea that was popular quite a few years ago. The one without knobs, 4 drawers, etc. I think this would literally transform that dresser. Perhaps I’ll use wood dowels...

[@PeonyandHoney]

Yessss wood dowels would be great! I just can be trusted with a power saw lol

[@carolinaospina5112]

Heyyy! I love it !!!!! Trying this soon. For the 24” half round craft foam. Did you get the 15 mm or the 30 mm ???

[@PeonyandHoney]

30mm is what i used gal

[@sharell814]

Did you do it @Carolina?

[@tinalemac]

I need to try this! 😍💛

[@PeonyandHoney]

Go for it hun you totally can do it

[@sofie4969]

do you think that also works on high-gloss surfaces, so sticking? I would like to try that on the Hemnes and another cupboard. Looks sooo good ✨

[@jillyjill9971]

AMAZING!

[@PeonyandHoney]

Thanks so much Jill!!! I really appreciate it!

[@hchipie]

So geogeous ! How many meter of half round dowel do we need ? Thanks so much 💜

[@PeonyandHoney]

I grabbed approximately 53 of the 24" foam dowels

[@nicolegibbonsstyle]

SO GOOD!!!!

[@PeonyandHoney]

Omg thank you Nicole!!! Wing It is literally the best light pink nude paint ever 🙌🏼

[@KaramabyHoda]

What a great hack!

[@PeonyandHoney]

Karama thanks babe

[@susanmcfee9661]

I love it!

[@PeonyandHoney]

Susan McFee thanks so much

[@cindrellatransformation2559]

Awesome!!!

[@PeonyandHoney]

Thanks so very much

[@chiara5994]

This is awesome!! Does hot glue make it resistant too?!

[@nikicima6997]

are they the 15 or 30 mm dowels?? looks amazing 😻

[@PeonyandHoney]

They’re the 30mm ones!

[@Angelous88]

Not my style (but love the color)... very creative idea though!!!! Looks fabulous too!

[@PeonyandHoney]

Aww thanks hun

[@nicolevonw8101]

Also, if this is “foam”, Will this get ruined during a move??? Or is it somewhat durable!? 🙃😉

[@ichmagaber]

So so cute!!! what diameter do the dowels have?

[@PeonyandHoney]

So i used the 30mm ones

[@lavendereleven5030]

Gorgeous 😍 I’m sooo doing it ,, about the dowels is it soft foam or wood ??

[@PeonyandHoney]

Lavender Eleven i used foam dowels from Michaels craft store because I’m not handy with power tools but you can also use wood

[@MO-di3sv]

Wow great idea! Love your channel. Did you have to sand or prime the IKEA hemnes dresser prior to painting it ? Thanks a ton ♥️

[@PeonyandHoney]

Monica Aww thanks! We didn’t sand just primed with BIN shellac primer

[@sruthim7922]

Hello! How much of paint did you use to cover the entire dresser?

[@lorenhinz7926]

Hi! This is so cute. Have you had any issues with the paint cracking on the foam? I worry that having a squishy material on the front would compromise the integrity of the paint.

[@PeonyandHoney]

Hey babe! No issues! The paint i used (Clare paint brand) worked so well and i have had zero cracking!

[@marshesutton4068]

Did you spray paint the knobs gold or buy some gold knobs? If so what size ? Thanks

[@PeonyandHoney]

You can do either, but i found these 1.5 knobs at HomeGoods. You just want to get a longer screw

[@alexslater2590]

If I am not painting the dresser (keeping it white) would I still need to paint the foam dowels?

[@PeonyandHoney]

I would or else they’ll just look like foam

[@maritzastone753]

Love this. Did you have to sand the dresser before applying paint?

[@PeonyandHoney]

Maritza Padilla i did not i just used BIN shellac primer

[@khannaziar]

Wow I absolutely love what you did to the dresser! Looks stunning. Are the knobs screwed on, or glued on?

[@PeonyandHoney]

Nazia Khan screwed on through the foam through the original holes

[@lulusal6983]

How many dowels did you purchase to complete the whole dresser? looking to do this as my DIY project this weekend.

[@PeonyandHoney]

I’m sorry I can’t recall exactly because i did this project over a year ago but i think it was somewhere in the 30’a

[@mizsab365]

amazzzzingnggggg

[@mariadoloresnovaogando9722]

Hi, Do you use 15mm or 30mm Half Round Foam Dowels? Tell me please.

[@PeonyandHoney]

Hi Maria! I used the 30mm dowels

[@bleugaze]

Welcome back?! Are we going to be seeing more of you on this platform, bc I really hope so..

[@PeonyandHoney]

Jessica as i feel up to it! But yep the plan is to try to keep posting videos here when i can!

[@Millennial.M.O.M]

Do you have the link for your knobs?

[@PeonyandHoney]

They were just some cheap Amazon ones nothing fancy

[@ajricc00]

hi, how do you go about cutting the dowels? tx!

[@PeonyandHoney]

I just used a regular steak knife gaha

[@elizabethfisher1634]

53 dowels...Are they sold in packs or did you have to purchase them separately?

[@blessiezarzuela1741]

What kind of paint did you use for the foam?

[@CarolineSilva-e9e]

How did you put the hardware?

[@ellemorse7831]

I am so in love with this!!! So creative! Did you use the 15mm or 30mm dowels?

[@PeonyandHoney]

We used the 30mm dowels! Thanks so much hun

[@NeverShoutMoonPig]

Did you have to sand the dresser first? :)

[@PeonyandHoney]

Nope just used BIN enamel primer first

[@acialynn]

And what kind of paint did you use!

[@smbrg]

Is Anyone in the comments from Australia and know where we can get foam dowels here? I’ve never seen them at spotlight or Bunnings!

[@acialynn]

Did you sand your dresser before painting??

[@PeonyandHoney]

I didn’t sand but i used BIN enamel primer and painted with Clare brand Paint in the color Wing It

[@acialynn]

@@PeonyandHoney thanks so much! It’s soo cute you did so good!

[@PeonyandHoney]

@@acialynn thank you love 💕

[@TipTokDaily]

[@PeonyandHoney]

Sarah Franklin i just grabbed some from HomeGoods

[@jenniesmythe8188]

[@PeonyandHoney]

Jennie Smythe i hear ya, but a nice long dresser is typically about $700-$800 in a store

[@manuelag2128]

Simultan ously Listen to you and the Sound. Not healthy, so noise IS to loud

[@michelleltimoteo]

Should I buy about 63 foams? It is almost the same price than the dresser 🫣
