Pottery Barn Inspired DIY Dresser - Shanty 2 Chic

Hey friends! I am SO excited to share my latest build! This next one has been a long time coming. This has been where my son’s tv has been resting for the last few months…

I have been avoiding tackling a dresser for sometime, because I thought it might be too hard. Well I am happy to report that it did not kill me, and it really wasn’t too difficult at all! The best part?? His tv and clothes now have a new home! Here it is! Ana gave me a great set of

easy plans to follow and you can see them HERE!

I will say that the Kreg Jig® is a MUST for this build. If you need another excuse to finally go and buy one, just check our last 10-15 furniture projects. You need one… I promise!

I will show you a few tips here, and you can get the full set of plans for my Pottery Barn Inspired Dresser HERE on Ana White’s site!

I used my Kreg Jig® on lots of parts!

The sides…

pocket holes in base — The base looks like this after it is attached…

This is a picture of the top before I attached it to the dresser.

I used Gorilla Wood Glue on ALL of my joints! LOVE! It never fails, and it is our very favorite glue!

For this piece I was finally able to try out some PureBond Hardwood Plywood. I have heard lots about it, and it certainly lived up to it’s hype for me! I used 3/4″ birch from Home Depot and had the nice man at Home Depot cut it into 15 3/4″ strips as Ana calls for in the plans. This saved me lots of time, and made it much easier to carry home!

I will be sharing later a more specific tutorial on working with metal drawer slides, but Ash gives a few tips HERE on her Pottery Barn inspired coffee table!

Here it is all finished up and ready for a good coat of stain!

I used the same stain on this piece that I used on the other pieces I made for his room. This stain is the BOMB. It dries in less than an hour, and only requires 1 coat. As a mommy with lots to do, this makes me super happy!
