About a month ago I spent my Saturday morning at a church rummage sale and found this beauty dresser for a whopping $6. D wasn't with me, but I figured I could go ahead and take the risk of the no return option. Turned out the risk was definitely worth it. It took a bit of work but the final result is pretty amazing.
We spent an afternoon sanding the imperfections away (thank G for a belt sander) and later applied two coats of clear varnish. From start to finish, the dresser took on a couple of different looks but we really couldn't be happier with the finished product. As we've browsed through furniture stores, similar pieces sell for upwards of $500 - which makes our less than $10 piece an even sweeter deal! We plan on using it in the living room for extra storage! I'll photograph it in the space and styled once we're at that point :)
