Drab to Fab Dresser

July 21, 2010 by Amanda Formaro

So I’m thinking I’d like to take Ann Marie of Twice Lovely with me on my next thrift store trip. Can you believe she got this dresser for free and then turned it into the beauty you see on the right? Makes you wonder if the woman that gave it away would have any regrets if she saw it!

See Ann Marie’s gorgeous drab to fab dresser transformation here.

Dollar Tree Halloween Tiered Stand

I love a good Dollar Tree Halloween craft, and this DIY Halloween tiered stand is one of those projects that proves you really don’t need expensive supplies to make something spooky and impressive.

This project uses simple plastic plates, bowls, wine glasses or candle holders, black spray paint, and a few Halloween decorations to create a dramatic tiered display stand. The raven on top gives it that perfect haunted-house feel, while the black finish pulls everything together so it looks much more high-end than the supply list suggests.

What I really like about this project is how flexible it is. You can make it tall and dramatic with several layers, or simplify it into a shorter version if you want something for a mantel, entry table, Halloween party buffet, or spooky centerpiece. The skeleton hands at the base are optional too, so you can make it as creepy or as classic as you like.

This is also a great project for using up random Halloween decorations you already have in your stash. Add mini pumpkins, faux spiderwebs, battery candles, skulls, ravens, potion bottles, or even wrapped candy for a Halloween party display.
