Magnolia Garden Dresser Makeover

I found this GORGEOUS dresser selling at the Thrift Store for $19.99 and couldn’t believe my luck! I don’t often find used furniture at this price point anymore! Today I’m sharing how I took this vintage dresser and turned it into a floral beauty using a Magnolia Garden Furniture Transfer! I'm also sharing one of my favorite tools to sand in tight corners and how to wrap transfers into furniture details!

Excellent craftsmanship 😊

[@ShesInHerElement]

I love using a good transfer almost as much as I like watching another artist use one 🤩 Beautiful piece. Love the serene and tranquil color of the dresser. It really compliments the florals perfectly. And of course you have to have a little glam... 😊 Love it! Just found your channel!!

[@shirleymorley4759]

I have followed a number of talented people, but your sessions are crisp, clear and very informative. Loved this video!

[@dayamipp]

I am new to your channel and I've only seen a few videos but so far I am in love with your work. I plan to paint my old wood dinning table (my first time) and I am sure that I will learn a lot from your videos. Thank you.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

A big hello and warm welcome! I'm so happy you're finding the videos helpful and good luck with your wood dining table. I'd love to hear how it turns out for you!

[@flooredbythestupid]

Thank you so much. I’ve been fussing over putting transfers over raised edges. You made it look so easy. 💖

[@SalvagedInspirations]

It's easy... you can do it!! 🙂

[@annajoseph8002]

Just found your channel. Beautiful transformation.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

[@rondymiller4044]

Shall we call it absolutely genteel!

[@barbarahanson5829]

This! I'm now encouraged sufficiently to try transfers on my next piece....I've been a bit hesitant to use one. Thank you for presenting the process so clearly. Your dresser is beautiful.💛

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks! And you’re going to love using transfers. I always feel like an “artist” when I stand back and look at the designs 😁

[@fmallow2727]

Very inspirational. Thank you.. just discovered your channel. 😊

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Welcome!

[@benniececiliamattox7426]

Sand Castle is beautiful with the transfer! Is that a cotton boll in the magnolia transfers? I have been looking for cotton bolls for so long! Great video and I know Andrea got a laugh when she heard you swapped the drawers for the staging picture!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Andrea has a good laugh at me all the time! 😂 And ya, it's cotton ball plants!!! I saw them selling at Michaels!

[@marciaw4164]

This is so pretty and well designed. You have such a good eye, Denise. And the drawers look fantastic as they are in the photos - I think I prefer them this way! So tempted to copy this paint/transfer combo - it's sublime. Thanks for the step by step!

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks Marcia and copy away! 😉 have a super weekend 💙

[@KimRinehart]

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Aw thanks Judith! 🥰 These magnolias ARE GORGEOUS, aren’t they!?! 😃😃😃

[@louisesuffolk]

Very pretty but I would've liked to look at the dresser a little longer. The after photo went too fast..

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Okay Louise, noted! You can also head on over to salvagedinspirations.com/magnolia-garden-dresser-makeover/ and I have MANY images of the after there! 😊

[@marylynnrybak6507]

The dresser is gorgeous!!!

[@sophiachristo7546]

Awesome color! Beautiful transfer! I love it! You added so mush value to this dresser! Thanks so much for sharing

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Aw, thanks Sophia... so happy you like it!

[@aliwoodcock658]

Love❤ The magnolia transfer

[@donnadimof4578]

Another beautiful piece! I bought that exact transfer to use on an old but charming dresser from my aunt. It’s been sitting in a drawer in same dresser - lol - but now I’m motivated to start the process. Highlight motivated! 😉

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Wonderful, it's such a fun transfer to work with! have fun!!

[@lolareed4284]

It absolutely looks beautiful amazing transformation. I had one question though do you put anything over the transfer to seal it? Thank you so much, Lola.

[@lolitabonita08]

LOOOVE the color...nice work!!!

[@fmarino4547]

Love your makeovers! I “found” a child’s wooden rocking chair with a damaged cane seat. Any suggestions to redo? Refinishing for a child whose room is gray and pink.

[@lolitabonita08]

LOLOL I just went to check the salvage inspiration site...and found out that i have been following you for a long time...couldn't put your face (video face) with the pic on your other site...that is funny....I also follow Confessions of a serial....site.

[@SalvagedInspirations]

hehe...that's funny! So happy you're following along here as well. Thanks! XOXO

[@Angel-rv1mt]

Beautiful piece. I love your choices. Does the piece require a sealer over the transfer?

[@lilybecerra2035]

Absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤

[@SalvagedInspirations]

Thanks Lily! 🥰 hope you’re enjoying your weekend 🤗💙🤗

[@veronicakiyoko5862]

Hi, I am a newbie to your channel. And I am in the process of doing a room over in my home. I have a bureau that belong to my husband and I would love to wash it down, put some kind of furniture polish on it. Do you have any recommendations that you could a newbie?

[@asilsesom3680]

Heat raises the grain of the wood if you don’t know how to use it

[@margaretdarby1914]

Do you cover the transfers with polyurethane?

[@camjane]

Just wondering if transfers can go on chalk paint too or does it have to be smoother paint like the silk you used?

[@SalvagedInspirations]

I use these transfers on chalk paints all the time.. so yes! :)

[@Scrap-A-Doodle-Designs]

What type of Bondo do you use

[@aksh927]

I did get the stickers and 😢 it ruin my paint . The glue is to much and pulled of the paint even after I let it dry for 4 days

[@lolitabonita08]

as long people keep buying things at the thrift store at higher prices (priced as if they were new) the problem will continue...this people have exceptions from the government, get their items from donations (FREEEE) and they go around and charge an arm and a leg for even broken items....that is highway robbery... pay only for low prices items like the dresser in this video...soon if everyone do the right thing and skip items with high prices they will get the message....ahhh but the goodwill and other "thrift stores" have the audacity to say that the funds are for helping to train people in jobs...or to send them to school....yeah right...if that was true many young adults, single moms and dads will be trained and working for good paid jobs...but i only see them working low pay jobs at fast food restaurants...

[@SalvagedInspirations]

I hear you and agree with much of this (can’t comment on what they use their profits for because I have no idea what thrift stores do with their profits) but yes, I have a limit on what I will spend on used furniture. Supply snd dena d right? Iv we stop tidying high prices they would drop. 🙂

[@lolitabonita08]

@@SalvagedInspirations exactly...do not feed the best and the best will be gone...Here in my heck of the woods, they advertise that they help minorities and poor kids to graduate ??? I guess high school...never seen them saying that they help low income kids to go to college...and to train people for better paid jobs however...never seen anyone saying that they were trained nor found a higher paid job in other industries non fast food joints...

[@ritameza2961]

It turned out beautiful. You worked hard ❤
