Upcycled Dresser & Mirror Made New

You know you are loved when your friends bring you gifts like this…right? What do you think? Well, I gladly accepted it as a freebie, though I wasn’t sure if I should. Check out how I created an upcycled dresser with this mirror that makes it look like they belong together.Cast-off Dresser Mirror Upcycled by Larissa of Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com

I’ll never deny I’m a sucker for mirrors in all shapes and sizes. They add light and depth to a room but can be reworked in many ways. The size of this one kinda limited its repurposing capabilities, but you know I’m game to try.

My first thought was to find a dresser suitable and if that didn’t work out, I’d find a new use for it. Well, within 5 minutes of looking online, I found this antique gem right in my neighborhood. SCORE!

Antique Dresser Before Makeover by Larissa of Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com

It’s in solid shape with much wear, but nothing I can’t handle with some DIY elbow grease. The top wasn’t in good enough shape to refinish and the sides both had messed up veneer, plus a broken caster.

We set the pair together to see if it’s a go, and I was happy to see that I can make it work. We have 1980’s paired with 1920’s…haha…a match made in heaven, right? Both even have the same awful orangey finish.

DIY TIME

In order to make the pieces jive I needed to find a way to tie them together. First, I took off the bullseye in the center of the dresser and replaced it with a similar applique as the mirror has.

After that, I filled all the damage with wood filler, and also filled the drawer pull holes because I planned to replace them. I sure used a whole lotta filler, but that stuff works awesome.

Once the filler has cured, I use my sander to take it all down and make it ready for the finishing touches. Another detail I wanted to add were some key escutcheons. I’ve had these in my stash from making our custom blanket chests and have used them on many pieces. They make a nice feature that adds a story.

PAINT TIME

Now time for the fun part…paint! {{happy dance}} This is my color of choice – a seconds latex paint I have yet to name. Isn’t that blue pretty?

To get the paint party started, I set up my paint sprayer. HomeRight Spray Shelter and Super Finish Max Extra Paint Sprayer for Furniture Refinishing by Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com

The shelter sets up in a matter of minutes and I have my sprayer ready to go using the blue tip. You can see it in action in my video below:

How to Use the HomeRight Super Finish Max Sprayer for Home and More by Larissa of Prodigal Pieces | prodigalpieces.com

To begin with an even coat, I start moving the sprayer using my shoulder and elbow, not my wrist. That is key as you want the sprayer to project an even stream. Feel free to practice on cardboard or scrap wood to get the hold right, as well as adjust the flow.

No primer is needed in this instance, but if I were concerned about bleed-through I would start with a Kilz primer.

ASSEMBLY

Once the first coat has cured for about two hours, I repeat with a second coat and let cure as well. After the paint was cured, it was time to assemble. Now, remember that this is an upcycled dresser set, so I had to find a way to connect them. I added two brackets to the back of the mirror as shown.

Dresser Mirror Brackets Added for Support | prodigalpieces.com

For inside the dresser, I used my Kreg Jig to make pocket holes to attach a 1″x 4″ for added mirror support. I placed it just behind the middle drawer as I wanted plenty of length support for this size mirror.

Ready to see my upcycled dresser set assembled and done? I am!

You would never know this set didn’t belong together, right? The paint helps to make it all gel, and the added details brought new life to it too. I simply added highlights with an antique white latex and a bit of brown wax for depth.

The glass knobs add a little bling, while the escutcheons give it a bit more of a formal feel. Plus, the added applique helped tie it all together. With all those lovely carved decorations, I just had to add some embellishments to draw them out.

  1. Debrashoppeno5 says

    It is such a beautiful color. You would never know it the dresser was made up of two different pieces. What a great makeover.

    • Larissa says

      I’m so glad you think so, Debra. Super fun challenge and glad Mandy thinks enough of me to save me gems like this one.

  2. ColleenB.~Texas says

    What a Beautiful make-over and such a lovely color. Was like the 2 pieces where meant for each other.
    Actually 1st thing I would tackle with the sprayer & tent would be anything and everything that isn’t already painted; of which makes up for quite the list. :-}
    Thank You for this wonderful giveaway opportunity.

    • Larissa says

      Hard to believe they were from different eras, isn’t it? Thanks so much, Colleen.

  3. Bobbi Look says

    I love love love this dresser! I love the color and how the added details really tied the two pieces together! The first project I would tackle with the HOME RIGHT sprayyer and shield would be a pair of antique bentwood chairs! I have been putting off off painting these chairs because it will be tedious with a paintbrush but a spayed would make this project a breeze!

    • Larissa says

      How fun to hear, Bobbi! Thank you. You know I wouldn’t be caught using my brush for chairs…sprayer for sure!

  4. JILL NELSON says

    I have some cane back kitchen chairs that would be so much easier to spray!

  5. Amy says

    I think this is my new favorite color! Just love how it turned out!

  6. Denise C says

    Love that shade of blue! I didn’t follow exactly where you put the 1 x 4 for added support. Is it added to the inside back of the dresser where the two top drawers fit? Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

    • Larissa says

      Thanks! It is behind the middle drawer, but could be at the top. We wanted the upright supports to be long to hold that tall of a mirror. Just depends on what you’re dealing with.

  7. Michele Branham says

    I LOVE the color and the mirror is perfect for the dresser!

  8. Judy Burnside says

    Larissa – The dresser set is just beautiful! I am so fascinated by the way you take an object and turn it into something that coordinates so well. You truly have a gift. I love the blue – soft and feminine. I think my first project with a spray set-up would be a large dresser I have, that I would like to change into a cabinet for the TV in the living room. It’s been waiting in my garage for more than a year! Yikes! I better get busy…. Blessings to you and your family!

    • Larissa says

      You’ve made my day, Judy! Thank you so much for the smile and encouraging words. Sounds like you have some fun coming up! 😉

  9. Christina in SW FL says

    Wow, what a great makeover! I adore the way you pulled pieces from your stash to meld the two pieces, and eras, together. The blue is perfect. I have a CD storage unit that I would love to paint an off-white color and the Homeright system would be perfect for that project.

    • Larissa says

      This was an exciting challenge, and I’m so glad Mandy thought of me in the first place. Thank you, Christina. 😀

  10. Cheryl says

    Simply BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the color and you pulled it all together beautifully! I really have to get myself a sprayer.??

    • Larissa says

      aww…thanks, Cheryl! I had fun with it. You really do. It has endless uses!

  11. gwen says

    simply beautiful! and like everyone else, I LOVE the color! changing the appliqué was an excellent idea, it married the two pieces perfectly!

    • Larissa says

      That silly bullseye had to go. haha. Thanks so much, Gwen!

  12. Melva says

    Love, love the set. They do look like they were always a set. The color and the bling ties it all together. I think it would be great to try the Homeright system for a similar look. Thanks for sharing.

    • Larissa says

      What a treat to hear, Melva. Thanks so much! You will love this set – really!

  13. Alison S says

    I enjoy seeing your makeovers. I would paint some chairs if I won!

  14. Frances says

    Love love the dresser! It being blue just makes it that much better. The sprayer would be so great to have. Projects right and left.

  15. Melanie B says

    This is beautiful! The new embellishment really ties it together perfectly! You have great eye for detail.
    I’d love to have a sprayer and shelter like you have. I have an antique dresser and a server that are just waiting for a new lease on life. They could both use a little Home Right love!

    • Larissa says

      It had to have some fun added to it as the mirror was so feminine and the dresser masculine. I’m delighted you like it!

  16. Stephanie says

    I love how the dresser and mirror turned out! After all the finishing touches they go together beautifully! I would love to use a homeright sprayer and shelter for so many projects! I have a table setting on my porch right now that I’ve been meaning to paint for a while.

    • Larissa says

      It truly was fun to give it a DIY try. I wasn’t sure it would gel, but glad it did. Thanks so much!

  17. Martha Jones says

    I love this dresser! I so wish I had a sprayer so I could make beautiful pieces! Would make my jobs so much easier!

  18. Shirley says

    Now that is one, no two, beautiful pieces! I love the way the detail you changed out matches so perfectly! I don’t think this will last long in the shop! Your friend must know you very well to bring you such a beautiful mirror and you did her proud!

    • Larissa says

      tee hee…you’re so fun, Shirley! Thank you for the giggle. Yes, an awesome friend, indeed.

  19. Stephanie says

    Just Beautiful. You have such an eye for details, color, and design. Wonderful redo!

  20. Darlene says

    Absolutely gorgeous Larissa! Love that blue. Wonderful job, well done!

    • Larissa says

      It’s been awhile since I’ve done a blue piece, so I thought it was high time. I’m so glad you like it. 😀

  21. Brandi Bryant says

    You are amazing as usual. This piece is gorgeous. Thanks for always sharing your talents with us. I would love to repair and paint my grandma’s vanity first. Then a few more projects that I have not started. Thanks for the giveaway and all of your inspiration and tips.

    • Larissa says

      It’s my pleasure to share and makes it fun. Thank you for showing me love, Brandi. {{hugs}}

  22. Kathy E. says

    I do love your project, Larissa, like I love all of them! Cornflower Blue hit me first for a paint color name, but that’s so over-used. Maybe Melancholy Blue? I have several old picture frames that I’d like to paint using this product.

    • Larissa says

      Aww…thanks! I love your ideas for colors. Maybe one day I can get my own line done.

  23. Barb B says

    It’s absolutely beautiful! And what a gorgeous blue. Would love to win the Homeright sprayer and shelter. It would help to finish a few projects before fall is here. Keep up the good work.

  24. Kaycee says

    Larissa, what a gorgeous color of “ops” paint! I always check the ops cans of paint, talk about trashure, right!! I have a couple cans of nice “ops” paints just waiting to be used on a project!!

    Your friend Mandy did a great job finding this mirror and you my dear, put them together and made them sing ?

    • Larissa says

      They are so nice to find unique colors, and affordable too. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in the oops hunt! 😀

  25. Rebecca - Knoxville,TN says

    The escutcheons and embellishments really take it from pretty to fabulous! Is the paint latex? Hard to pass up paint seconds -I have a small collection awaiting future projects 🙂

    • Larissa says

      Thank you, Rebecca. Yes, a latex paint. They make what I do like a treasure hunt fun!

  26. Lynne says

    What an absolutely gorgeous piece! The blue color is perfect! You always do such a professional job! Thanks for the giveaway.

  27. Michelle says

    Would love to win! This color reminds me of Louis blue – one of my faves. ?

  28. Maura says

    I love that blue! Did you use a white wax on the details?

    • Larissa says

      I do too. I used an antique white latex with a bit of brown wax.

  29. Sana says

    This is one of my new favorites! I’d never be able to part with these lovely pieces! You continue to outdo yourself!

  30. Hanna says

    Stunning! It’s beautiful!! You are amazingly creative!!!

    • Larissa says

      Thank you for your sweet encouragement, Hanna. It means so much.

  31. Kim Nixon says

    Well that turned out perfectly…who said different generations can’t get along! It also goes great with your bedroom!

    • Larissa says

      haha…so true!! Thank you, Kim. I can’t wait to see where it’s new home is.

  32. Wendy says

    It looks like it was always a set! Beautiful!. If I win I have a blanket chest to make over ?

  33. Carol S says

    Really great job once again! I love the way you tied the two pieces together and updated the dresser to give it a glam look to match the mirror. Love the lighter effects on the embellishments. I too am wondering – white wax?

    • Larissa says

      I had to try and am so glad you like it. Than you! I used an antique white latex with a bit of brown was to highlight.

  34. SONJA HANSEN says

    Great marriage with those two pieces. Your attention to the little details certainly makes all of the difference.

    • Larissa says

      It truly takes time, but like you said, makes all the difference. Thank you, Sonja.

  35. SONJA HANSEN says

    Your beautiful piece inspires me to paint the Singer sewing machine cabinet and stand that I prepped two years ago. The sprayer and tent will help the process and let me move on to several dressers. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

  36. Kimberly says

    I love how you married these pieces. It is so much fun to customize things and not have the same cookie-cutter furniture as everyone else.

    • Larissa says

      You nailed it. Nothing like making your own home story. Thank you for the love! 🙂

  37. Becky says

    What a pretty blue! I wouldn’t mind copying that on some of my dining room furniture here in the near future! : )

  38. Paula says

    Oooh la la! That dresser is so lovely and in the prettiest shade of blue (that also found its way to you for this project). I look forward to being amazed every time that I open your post and you always deliver. I was looking forward to this reveal because I recently picked up a dresser mirror at a yard sale that I thought would go with a dresser that we have (that I still have not redone). Neither piece is as lovely as what you started with they are very plain and masculine; which is perfect because it would be for my husband. Maybe if I could acquire a sprayer and tent, I could get er done before the rainy season. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!

    • Larissa says

      Your words truly mean much as I try to inspire. It’s much work, but fun too. thank you, Paula. I can’t wait to see who wins. It sure would help you in your own furniture adventure!

  39. Lori Sawyer says

    Awesome job! And the blue paint looks great

  40. Grace says

    The swapping of those little appliques changed everything and it ties them together so well. Brilliant!

    I haven’t done a thing this summer due to my grown-up children coming home, but I sure did enjoy them.

    Hope I get to have a brilliant make over like you did before it gets too cold. ?

  41. Constance Colvin says

    You ARE the furniture whisperer!

  42. Ginny says

    Beautiful!!! My neighbor gave us a dresser that he longer wanted in his garage and my daughter has claimed it. A sprayer would make this job so much easier to tackle! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  43. Edie Smoak says

    Love, love, love the color! So sad you can’t identify it for us so I can use it to pain built-in s i am currently working on. If I won the sprayer the timing would be perfect as I am getting very close to being ready to paint!

  44. Rosie says

    Love the color. Did you name it yet?
    Always impressed with your talent

  45. Joan Ness says

    So pretty and love the color. The pieces go together so perfectly! You make the sprayer look so easy!

  46. Cathy says

    As always, a gorgeous finish!

  47. Joyce Vanderlinden says

    Beautiful color and they look very well together. Love your blog and your creativeness.

  48. Patty Soriano says

    Larissa, you inspire me and you are such a lovely role model. I would love to win the spray shelter. I have a houseful of curb shopped furniture that needs to be beautified. Tables, chairs, dressers. I donate many of my finds to an organization which helps refugees and I’d love to do more than just clean up the furniture. I love what you’ve done with these two pieces you show-cased today. I also have a spare mirror that needs to be attached to something, so this helps me to figure out how to do that. Thanks so much for the opportunity to take a chance at your generous giveaway!

    • Larissa says

      Your words made my day, Patty. How sweet of you to say. Thank you! Sounds like you have some fun planned!

  49. Charlene Paugh says

    I LOVE it !!! Blue is my favorite. Beautiful job, as always !!!!!!!!!!!!

  50. Jan Gommeringer says

    Hi Larissa,
    I’m a new follower of yours and you did a great job “marry-ing” this dresser and mirror! I’m planning to build a very looong bench soon and I hope it turns out as I envision. I better have a plan B though. Lol Thank you for your encouraging us all to DIY!
    Jan

    • Larissa says

      I’m so excited to have you, Jan! 😀 Thank you for the love.

  51. Charlene Smith says

    What a beauty! The color is amazing. Love turning old into new.

  52. Gail Ebeling says

    What a beautiful peaceful color..the glass knobs a like the cherry ? on the top

  53. Naomi S. says

    That project turned out to be really lovely! I have never used a paint sprayer so I think I would choose a small table I have to paint first. I can think of other pieces, too, like a chest of drawers that my grandfather built for me when I was a baby. I painted it to use for my first daughter when she was a babe and it’s had one more coat of paint since then. But it needs a refresher, for sure.

    Thanks for sponsoring the contest!

  54. Deborah L Mildenstein says

    That blue is to die for! I have an old dresser that I would LOVE to spray. Here’s hoping!!!

  55. Cindy Gaston says

    Love this project! I have a small old dresser that I would use the sprayer on.

  56. Cindy Downing says

    Absolutely gorgeous!! I sooo need this sprayer to do my kitchen!!

    • Larissa says

      It would be so nice to have for that kind of project. Hope you win!

  57. Sherry Fram says

    I would redo the wardrobe in my bedroom. I keep putting it off as it has louvred doors. lol

  58. Ivy says

    Oh, I simply can’t decide yet! So many possibilities!

  59. Terri Hughes says

    WOW…..the dresser and mirror where made for each other. Love the blue paint….very pretty!

  60. Tammy Shelton says

    Love it! I would tackle a French Provincial Dresser just waiting for me in my garage.

  61. Jeanette says

    You’ve done it again! Beautiful. They look great together!

  62. Janet Kynerd says

    As usual, you have produced an amazing piece.

  63. Carol Prygo says

    Larissa, this set turned out just beautiful! I love the color!

  64. Shelley says

    I believe I’ve commented this before, but I’m normally appalled at real wood furniture being painted…. but you have done it and changed my mind again! It’s just beautiful. I think this is my favorite of your projects yet. Though I think I’ve said that before as well!

  65. Felicia says

    Love the color. And thank you for the giveaway.

  66. Emily Price says

    Genius makeover! You would never know they originally didn’t belong together! Really inspirational! I’ve had my eye on the sprayer…I’ve sworn off brush painting my hoard of dining chairs! Lol. This would make life much easier….plus I’d love to tackle my kitchen cabinets! Hopefully I entered giveaway right! (Fingers crossed;) thank you!

    • Larissa says

      You’re a fun gal, Emily! 😀 Thank you for the smile.

  67. Mary Smitg says

    I love how this turned out. I’m always finding random mirrors when I’m out picking. (Or are they finding me? 🙂 I’d love to try the sprayer on a large armoire that I’m about to tackle! Thanks for sharing!

    • Larissa says

      They find you…just like this one as I wasn’t looking! haha!

  68. dianne anderson says

    I really enjoy every post you publish. Winning the HomeRight Shelter would be a painter’s dream come true.

  69. Janice says

    Absolutely beautiful. As always. You are amazing!

  70. Bonnie Maw says

    Gorgeous pull together of items and love mistints!!

  71. Terri hogan says

    The dresser is beautiful. I am always amazed at what you accomplish!

  72. Sue Pagels says

    Great Job and I love the blue! The glass knobs really set it off too! Thank you for the giveaway – I would love to win!

  73. Joanne says

    I always look forward to your posts. You inspire and amaze. I am a novice at recycling, repurposing, restoring, having recently retired. So still building my “tool box”. I have a small cabinet I am eager to paint and a dresser that has damaged veneer so painting is my plan. Your dresser turned out beautiful. Love the color and your creativity that created the match. Your a genius!

    • Larissa says

      How exciting and congratulations! Thank you for the smile too. 😀

  74. Kristina says

    So pretty! Is that latex paint flat? It’s hard to tell in the photos. I have a dresser that has been in my garage for 7 yrs (yes I said 7!) It even made a move with us and I just can’t decide what to exactly to with it, I refuses to “talk” to me lol! It has sentimental meaning as it came from my in-laws after they passed away and I don’t want to mess it up. Maybe if I win the sprayer I will finally just go for it and hope it just starts screaming at me then! Thank you for the opportunity Larissa. 🙂

    • Larissa says

      Thanks! Yes, it is in an eggshell finish. You will love it!

  75. Debra A Wise says

    Another beautiful makeover Larissa! I can’t believe how incredibly amazing the 2 pieces look married together. Only you could have the vision to accomplish this! I have so many pieces I want to paint and the HomeRight sprayer would be such a help since it’s getting to where it hurts my hands to paint things by hand.

    • Larissa says

      It was one of those things I had to try. Thank you, Debra!

  76. Noël Quinnelly says

    I found a beautiful buffet that I’m turning into a coffee bar. All it needs is a little TLC and paint

  77. Pam says

    I think I have a fear of color. A real fear. I don’t know that I’d ever be brave enough to paint a piece of furniture blue. Maybe someday! I do, however think it turned out lovely and would be stunning in the right place – French cottage comes to mind. Thank you, as always, for such lovely inspiration!

    • Larissa says

      You can do it! Maybe start with a small piece work up. Warning: It’s addictive!

  78. Christine Long says

    So pretty. You are so creative! Switching out the applique was brilliant and totally made this project but the key eschuteons are pretty fab, too. Details make it

  79. cheryl bonner says

    I need to move closer just so I can buy your stuff..lol..This is amazing

  80. Lisa says

    Love the new look of the dresser and mirror “set’! I would be interested to see how you highlighted the details. If I were to win the HomeRight products, the first things I would paint are some frames I have been collecting for signs~ Christmas gifts! Thank you for the inspiration; those frames just might have some embellishments added.

    • Larissa says

      How fun to think ahead. We do the same. Makes Christmas so special.

  81. Peggy Sanders says

    I just love this blue color. You always come with such great ideas. Love your blog.

  82. Sheilda says

    Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

  83. Melanie says

    Beautiful! I love the soft gray/blue color. It fits the piece well. I would tackle a handmade oak shelf/bookcase unit I picked up at a church resale shop so it would work better in my sewing studio.

    • Larissa says

      Thanks! I do too. I couldn’t wait to use that color. Sounds like fun!

  84. Judy Newell says

    I love the color and the detail work. I wish I had a place and the proper tools to redo furniture.?

  85. Winona Spinks says

    I love your projects and the inspirations you share. This one is by far my favorite. Marrying these two pieces was a perfect match!

  86. Cindy says

    Beautiful! I absolutely love seeing your posts, highlight of my day 🙂

  87. Lisa Wilson says

    That blue is spectacular and I love the knobs! Another beautiful piece!

  88. Staci says

    So beautiful! And your staging skills are topnotch! How awesome that you give these pieces beautiful new lives. ?

    • Larissa says

      It’s kinda like a passion to take all the unwanteds and make them new. Thank you, Staci. 🙂

  89. Carrie says

    Top notch transformation of this piece of furniture!

  90. CJ says

    Stunning and calming at the same time. Love how you do that! Been thinking about a furniture paint sprayer myself and have gotten so many recommendations for HomeRight. Guess that’s the one to get! I have a petite china cabinet, a curvy buffet, and a Hoosier cabinet waiting impatiently in my garage…

  91. Cassandra D says

    I like your new project..
    I would tackle the dresser in the garage with HomeRight Super Finish Max Paint Sprayer and Spray Shelter.

  92. Lish says

    Honey, you are a lifesaver. Five years ago a friend brought me this old beat up federal style dresser. Two years later I ended up finding this very same mirror sitting curbside and I snatched it up. I ended up with an unnoticeable but rather outdated looking mix-matched set. I have been agonizing for months about how I could incorporate this mirror into this update. I just never seemed to gel in my mind until I saw your version. I love the idea of using a light color to brighten things up (mine is currently a dark wood). Thank you!

    • Larissa says

      That is awesome for you! I love it when pieces can be married to make new. Thank you!

  93. Christie says

    Happy Blogoversary!! Years ago you did a beautiful dresser that had similar embellishments. You had used gold and white paints to gild and accent it. I had a dresser with similar appliques and fell in love with your work. I saved a blew up the photos of your gilding work and mimicked it on my dresser. It turned out beautifully and even though I’ve done at least 100 projects since then (that was one of my first 3 projects) it is still my favorite. I still have that old tutorial and have plans to repeat that work in the future. Thank you for all you do!

      How fun to hear, Christie! Yes, embellishments make it oh so much more fun drama. I’m tickled you enjoy it too!

I should have left this review MONTHS ago! I absolute love this lunch bag. I honestly carry this 5 days a week. It is the perfect size! Not only can you put your lunch in it, it can also hold your book. I enjoy reading at lunch, so I have all I need in one cute bag. Thank you so much Larissa!
