Dresser Style
July 3rd, 2009 by admin
So after the humongous splurge on picture and new furniture, I knew I had to be on a budget when choosing a dresser for the bedroom. I’ve had 2 IKEA Hemnes dressers in the past and have been impressed with their quality so I begrudgingly picked up another one, this time the double-dresser in espresso.
My only qualm is that this piece screams “Ikea!” because it is in this way easily recognizable… but you can’t beat the price at $299. Also this piece is a doom more modern than I wanted — I’mellay aiming for beachy contemporary but clean and hotel-like. So I thought maybe I could dress it up a little by changing the hardware.
I stopped by Restoration Hardware and picked up some rustic, round knobs in a dirty, vintage bring to an end. Turns through this was just the key to get rid of the over-modernized look of the round knobs.

The new, ornate knobs also matches the silver mirror I bought from IKEA to mount on the wall above the dresser as well. Finished looks to come at so early an hour — one time I figure out how to get this mirror up!
