finished product

More than a year ago, I picked up a cute dresser at the Thrift Store for only $15.00 It was well built, had dove tail joints in the drawers, and was in good shape but outdated. I snatched it right up but it's been sitting in my workshop for a very long time. I have been hunting through all of my photos for the before pictures but it must have been deleted. But just imagine a yellow dresser with gold trim and ugly handles.

Anyway, I decided to spruce it up a bit for the happy couple (Jeff and Olivia). Here is the finished product:
If it had been for me, I probably would have painted it white but this color suited them. I fell in love with this grey color and it make me want to paint something this color for my house...too bad it matches NOTHING I own!

It's amazing what some paint and some new drawer handles can do to update a piece of furniture. For fun, I bought some bright wrapping paper and used mod podge to line the drawers.

One more project I can check off my list.

I love it! Great idea with the wrapping paper! I love the polka dots!

I like the grey. And I love the orange polka dots, but when you look close at the dots while scrolling down the computer screen quickly, it makes you a little loopy for a minute. Warn them not to open the drawers too fast!

Really, really cute. I love finding a cool treasure at a thrift store or yard sale and making it into something great! Love the drawer lining too. Very creative!
