This is also a fun and easy way to add a vintage look in minutes to your home.Mirrors will reflect more light from your candles, reflect day light when the sun is up, and really add a touch of elegance to a simple, small, or cheap candle sconce.

Sweet Little Vintage Dresser

So, I have a a photo posted in the focus this week area an done right here of this sweet little vintage dresser I made a vintage craft video out of for Associated Content.

Now, I made a vintage craft video while I was doing it, but I am waiting for it to be published at Associated Content, so I though I might tell you a little more about it. Watching vintage craft videos is so much more fun than reading about it in my opinion!

To make the little shabby chic dresser (it really is a vintage recipe box with drawers) I first photocopied some vintage feed sack materials on my printer.

If you like the look of this shabby chic dresser (recipe box) then check back in for the video. I think it should be up in about a week.

Check out the video under More From Rebecca showing the antique white paint finish to see a similar final step.

Meanwhile I did write an article on how to do this.
