Monica from East Coast Creative transformed an old toolbox dresser into a chic DIY piece inspired by Anthropologie’s Ordinal Dresser.
She began by sanding the dresser to prepare it for painting.
Using a stencil, she added bold, oversized numbers onto each drawer front to mimic the original design.
Monica then painted the numbers in a deep, contrasting color, ensuring crisp edges for a polished look.
To achieve a vintage feel, she lightly distressed the edges and applied a protective topcoat.
The result is a high-end look achieved with minimal investment and effort.
This project showcases how creativity can turn a basic piece into something special.
If you’re looking to add character to your furniture, this DIY is a great place to start.
