Repurposing a Vintage Dresser

One of my favorite things to do is gather up a bunch of unrelated items....put them all together....and make a unique piece!  

This piece of furniture  is a combination of  a vintage dresser,  a mirror frame,  old chair legs,  silverware cases,  faucet handles, wrought iron,   and some odds and ends pieces of lumber

I haven't found a name for my piece yet....is it a entry piece......a potting table...... floral styling station....

Just ignore the clock,  at first I thought it would be part of the assemblage,  but I changed my mind.   The top is the vintage mirror frame,   two wrought iron hooks,  and  a pair of wrought iron corner units.    H took the two top drawers and put them on top of the dresser,  then he joined them with a hinged top.

When you lift the lid over the two drawers,  you can see I have moss in one drawer.....

I have styrofoam in the other drawer.       For now,  I am using my piece as a floral styling station.

I have silk flowers in the bottom drawers and I'm using the center compartment to hold grapevine wreaths.   I have a table on the porch where I can sit in the sun and make floral designs to use in my vignettes.   

I have two silverware cases that I use to store floral supplies.

I bought the mirror that we used for the top of our piece at the auction this past summer for $10.   

I still have the mirror that originally went with the dresser,  but it is hanging in the hall gallery wall.

The chair legs that you see supporting the two bottom drawers are an auction purchase.   I got the bid ($1) on a box of odds and ends chair legs.

It is in the 70's today......a perfect afternoon to sit on the porch and enjoy the sun!
