DRESSER BEFORE and AFTER

So I thought I would share a little before and after project I’ve been working on recently. For about oh…6 years now I’ve hung everything up in my closet and had tupperware drawers. Yes I’ve been living out of tupperware drawers for quite a while now. But that’s okay because I’m sort of a minimalist and didn’t want extra furniture in my room. (The tupperware drawers also fit in my closet…and no my closets not a walk-in ha). Anyways…one Saturday morning Adam and I went thrifting and found this lovely dresser. Or not so lovely at first… but this dresser was ONLY $20! Can’t beat that.

So after a fresh coat of paint, new knobs I think it looks pretty stinkin good. I’m happy with it at least. I also FINALLY got some of my photos printed and framed, you can see how those turned out in the last photo. Oh and the new knobs were found at Hobby Lobby and that week and they were 50% off! Oh how I love Hobby Lobby.

Oh and I also collect wire baskets, on Etsy they can sell for $20++ If you look around at your thriftstores you can usually find them for just $1 or $2 dollars. Maybe I’ll do a post soon on little corners of my home and things I collect.

Let me know what you think. Have YOU had any fun thrift store finds that you have redone? I’d love to see them!

Rhonda Smith - Like your dresser–very retro. . .thinking of the 70’s because I had a bedroom suite that color (LOL).

Lauren - Super pretty! Way to upcycle that dresser.

Laura - Rhonda- that’s awesome, you should have kept that 70s dresser! Lauren- Thanks! I hope to upcycle some more furniture soon.

Emily Brown - awesome dresser…I want one, so if you see another one at a garage sale, let me know

I predict you will someday use this in a nursery as your baby’s dresser/changing table–mark my words
