We needed a dresser for Sneaky E's bedroom.
We have a beautiful antique bed...but no dresser.
I looked & looked for a good deal, but I really wanted something with character & I just hated to send a lot of money on another piece of kids furniture!
I loved these...
Alligator stars...dresser, $1,145...mercy!!
Bratt Decor Red Dresser, $1,089...holy cow!!
Shorty Dresser with Cubby Boxes, $2,000...Good Night Alive!!
I lucked up & found this used dresser on Craigslist last month...$100!
It's a nice, solid wood dresser...already roughed up a good bit.
I was not feeling the love for those drawer pulls, so they had to go!
After sanding, sanding & then painting, then sanding some more & then painting a bit more & THEN drilling just a pinch (as the new hardware was a wee too big for the existing holes)....
Here it is...finished up & ready for the strong men (aka, Daddy P & pals) to carry it upstairs to Sneaky E's bedroom!
(and before you ask...YES, there are two pulls that are the WRONG COLOR...((ARGH))..on here...got that fixed & can't believe I didn't notice it before I took these pictures)
Price Breakdown...
Dresser...............$100
Paint.................$14.68
Hardware........$52.44
Sandpaper pads....had on hand
Ibuprofen (as my back is KILLING me now).......had on hand
Grand total.......$167.12
Ok, I have to go lay down now...
Mama P is worn OUT! ;)
Have a super weekend & happy crafting!!
