My Before and After Project



I had been in great need of a dresser for my guest bedroom when I came across this little project on 
Pinterest.




Really, can you believe that before?

I had been searching high and low online for a unique dresser and could not find anything out of the ordinary and a typical dresser was over $300 at Ikea or Target. 

I began surfing Craigslist daily when I came across this beauty.

Seriously, it even had the Trellis Print that I swoon over. 




I know what you are thinking, but stay with me. 

I imagined painting it Gray and adding new knobs and BAM this is what we ended up with.



I have right at  $100 in this including the new knobs.

Now I am searching high and low for a china hutch similar to the one above so I can redo it.

  4. This looks GREAT! We are about to tackle our first project with an old book shelf. I want it to be the "perfect Restoration Hardware" gray. Fingers crossed it turns out super cute like this!
