INDUSTRIAL DRESSER REDO WITH DIY PULLS AND LETTER TRANSFER TUTORIAL

MISS INDUSTRIAL

THIS PIECE FOR

ME WAS GOING OUT OF MY

COMFORT ZONE AND 

DOING A SUBWAY, INDUSTRIAL

TYPE DESIGN. I'VE NEVER 

DONE THIS KIND OF

IMAGE TRANSFER AND WAS

A LITTLE SKEPTICAL WHEN

I STARTED. 

HERE IS THE BEFORE OF

MY DRESSER...

NOT A BAD LOOKING PIECE

BUT THE TOP WAS PRETTY 

SCREWED UP AND IT WAS PRETTY

GENERIC LOOKING. I WANTED

THIS TO HAVE THE INDUSTRIAL

FEEL.

I STARTED WITH THE LETTERING

AND DECIDED TO USE CARBON 

PAPER TO DO THIS,I HAD GOTTEN

SOME AT THE THRIFT STORE 

PREVIOUSLY SO IT WAS TIME TO 

PUT IT TO USE.

I WAS DOING ONE DRAWER AT A

TIME AND SO I SELECTED WHAT

FONT I WANTED AND PRINTED IT OUT

WITH MY COMPUTER AND INKJET 

PRINTER.

I TAPED THE CARBON PAPER TO THE

DRAWER AND THEN TAPED THE

PRINTED LETTERING ON TOP. 

IF THE LETTERING WAS LONGER

THEN THE PAPER I USED TWO

SHEETS AND TAPED THEM TOGETHER.

I TRACED THE LETTERING WITH A

PEN, PUSHING

DOWN QUITE HARD TO GET THE LETTERING TO TRANSFER TO THE

WOOD.

I PULLED THE LETTERING UP

SLOWLY TO BE SURE THAT IT

ALL TRANSFERED. THIS WAY IF

IT DIDN'T YOU CAN RETRACE.

AFTER THE PAPER IS OFF

I TRACED THE LETTERING BY 

HAND WITH A BLACK SHARPIE 

MARKER

THE NEXT STEP IS TO

FILL IN THE LETTERS WITH

BLACK PAINT.I USED THE MARKER

FIRST SO THE LETTERS WOULD HAVE

A SHARPER EDGE.

A LITTLE SANDING AFTER DRYING 

AND I THEN USED THE MINWAX

POLYSHADES (MISSION OAK IN SATIN 
FINISH) TO VARNISH THE DRAWERS!

THE TRANSFER METHOD WAS A LITTLE

TEDIOUS BUT WORKED FANTASTIC!

THIS IS MY AFTER...

I WANTED TO USE ALL WORDS 

THAT I WOULD

ASSOCIATE WITH INDUSTRIAL FURNITURE TO MAKE THE

PIECE UNIQUE!

I ALSO ADDED THE STEEL

WHEELS ONTO THIS PIECE TO

ACHIEVE THIS LOOK!

I MADE THE DIY PULLS WITH

BLACK ROPE THAT I FOUND AT LOWES

AND THICK HEX NUTS. THE 

BLACK ROPE WAS JUST AN IDEA THAT

I CAME UP WITH WHEN LOOKING IN THE

ROPE SECTION OF LOWES! THE PART BEHIND THE DRAWERS IS KNOTTED ON
EACH SIDE AND THEN
I GLUED THE HEX NUT DOWN TO THE
FRONT OF THE DRAWER. THE ROPE 
IS PRETTY THICK SO THE HEX NUTS
WEREN'T REALLY MOVING BUT JUST
AS A PRECAUTION I GLUED THEM.

I LOVE THE WAY THEY LOOK.

I LOVE HER AND I HOPE YOU

LOVE HER TO... 

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME DRAG HER

BACK INSIDE???

ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE ASKING
ME ABOUT THE PRODUCTS I USED
ON THIS PIECE SO I MADE 
THIS LITTLE LIST UP...
