Hello, beautiful, dresser! I have a similar piece on my DIY To Do for the summer, so I was super inspired by the creative addition of herringbone and the piece’s simple white finish: “The dark and light woods, leather and crisp white paint work wonderfully together, and the herringbone pattern is just amazing and apparently quite simple to make,” writes Design*Sponge. Read on for full the project’s full description and instruction.

Matt, the creator behind this wonderful overhaul, sells his creations in his Etsy shop SPRUCE UP. And actually, the piece featured here is currently for sale for $1,100.00, a little steep for me but worth the laborious 22-hour process undertaken to finish the piece.
