oh you know...just feeling a little crafty.

So i have this dresser that i've had for probably 8 years. It's a miracle that it's even lasted that long, becayse it is made out of the most crappy material ever. You know that real cheap flaky particle board stuff? Yep, that stuff. But bless the Lord, this dresser has survived 8 years, 2 re-paintings, 5 moves, and being consistantly over stuffed with an absurd amount of clothing. This thing really has seen better days. Poor thing :(


I'd been needing to get a new one for a while, but just hadn't gotten around to it. So a couple of weeks ago, my wonderful Aaryn was at an estate sale and found this gem...FOR TEN DOLLARS!!!! It was beautiful from the start, but i was feeling crafty, and spiffed up a beautiful antique dresser for way less than I could have bought a quality one!

AFTER

I used some really inexpensive wrapping paper I found at Target as drawer liner.



Here are some of the super cute (but slightly pricey) knobs I got at Anthropologie.






Not a dramatic change, I know, but its fun putting my own twist on such an amazing find.

Not bad Faith....Not bad.

  1. Great job - it looks super cute! Glad I asked Aaryn to go with me estate saling - it seems like there was someone else who was supposed to come but didn't!!! :) <3 you - Carol
