Crafted from unfinished pine with no varnish or stain, the pieces are DIY-ready straight out of the box.
Unbelievably, the project cost under $100 including the thrifted dresser.
They also added vintage knobs and salvaged turned legs to complete the look.

Not every hack requires hours of work.
The Tarva can be given a new look with just a few coats of paint.

Riikka from@exminimalistchose a grey-green lime paint for an ultra-matte finish which complements the rest of herminimalist decor.
She added geometric details to the drawers and painted the entire thing off-white for a clean, modern look.

Tim fromBay on a Budgetpainted the dresser in a rich blue but allowed the wood grain to show through.
This not only fits the look he was going for but also gives the piece more depth.
The soft pastel drawers work so well with the natural pine and the elegant brass handles.

With watered-down paint and pewter hardware, the Tarva looks completely different.

Simple doesnt mean boring as you could see with this monochrome dresser.
The subtle contrast of the shiny brass handles against the matte finish makes this dresser especially stylish.

She then cut the legs at an angle and added some metal hardware for an authentic mid-century look.
