Dresser Fun

When Mike and I moved into our new apartment in June, I was dying to get a new dresser for our bedroom. The one we had only had 6 tiny drawers and one drawer could maybe hold 2-3 pairs of pants. I'm not saying I have a ton of clothes, but that dresser just wasn't cutting it. I was looking on KSL and found an old looking dresser for $40 that I thought would look so fabulous if it had some new paint on it. I went to Lowes, grabbed a quart of primer and a quart of paint and that started a series of dresser re-finishes due to the fact that I enjoyed myself THAT much. :)

Now the lighting in my apartment is horrible so these pictures don't look that fabulous.

New Dresser for our bedroom. I loved the hardware so I just spray painted it brown. It reminds me a pretzels.

Since I already had the blue paint, I decided to paint the dresser (the one I was telling you about from earier) that doesn't fit anything in it. After that, I slapped an add on KSL and a family bought it from us to put in their little boy's room.

 This puppy sits at the end of our hall way. I was planning on selling it, but now, I'm a little more in love with this cream delight than I should be. The pictures don't look that great, but in real life... ahhhh.

Can you tell I'm really loving blue right now? This dresser was a piece of junk. I found it on KSL, and went to Nibley to check it out. I saw that it was not in good condition and that it was cheaply made, but what did I do? I bought it for $40 (way too overpriced) anyway because I felt completely obligated to buy it from this woman who probably didn't care if I did or not. Yeah, I'm weird like that. This one got a lot of love and after a tube of wood filler, some serious sanding and a $3 discounted quart of paint, she looked much better than when I found her. This dresser is off to the Banta's house where Trey and Jack can enjoy it.

This has been so fun for me to do on the weekends and has given me a little bit of a creative outlet. It has been nice to get a few hours to think about whatever I want and listen to whatever I want instead of work and other things that normally give me anxiety :) 

I just spotted a rocker for $10 that I'm hoping to make my next little project. It would be fun to reupholster and paint. Here's hoping it hasn't already sold.   

If anyone is in the need of a dresser/night-stand/table, you name it, re-model, you just let me know!
