Definitely in need of some TLC. Keep looking.
The green arrow is pointing to my least favorite part of the whole thing!!!! It was gone quickly and would not be replaced.
An upclose look of one of the drawers. Do you see the potential?The green arrow is pointing to my least favorite part of the whole thing!!!! It was gone quickly and would not be replaced.
Here is a peek at what happens after it has been sanded!
Jim sanded the whole thing down and this is what we ended up with.
The stain was picked out and applied. The picture of the dresser on its own up completion seems to be MIA, but there are plenty of pictures of this project. The following pictures have been taken since we moved into this house.
New hardware, new color, new life! I love it!!!!!!
In this pictures it is sitting in our living room. Life greatly improved from the time this dresser was saved until now. For that I am very thankful!!!!This is the tag that is still on the back of it. We are relatively close to this town.
It eventually made it to the kitchen (everyone has a dresser in their kitchen don't they?).
The current look can be found here. Fun facts about the above picture...the tree skirt is my Grandmother's apron (love and miss you), the avocado tree topper, I managed to dry myself (yep still proud of that one), the coffee mugs came from Jim's Grandma and the stemware is from my other Grandma. We just might be a little sentimental in this house!!! :)
