Dresser project

Charlotte's IKEA dresser bit the dust.  The drawers starting coming apart every other day, so I figured it was time to move on.  I found this beautiful old wooden dresser at a resell-it shop just before Christmas for about $200.  Of course, I forgot to take a picture of it before I dissembled it and started sanding, so this will have to suffice as a "before" pic.




It was a fun project -- probably took a week of working 2ish hours per day. I took quite a few tips from a blog called "Centsational Girl" - that helped so much.  I think the finish on this one came out much better than anything else I've tried. And here's the final result: painted, striped, and adorned with new girly knobs.
