Before and After Dresser

Well hello 2013! 

It's been too long, really.  I went back to work full-time and poor little sunny vanilla suffered...wah!  But the creative juices are still here, they just need a little more time.  Enter the dresser makeover.  Strobe lights please!  

So way back when, I found this little gem while "g-sale-ing" (that's code for going to garage sales) with my dad.  My daughter had outgrown her changing table and it was time for an upgrade.  I knew I wanted to make something, so we got down to business.  After a million garage sales, several cups of coffee, and a donut (or two or three), we found this.

Are you loving her curves, or what?  I knew in a second that this was the one.  We made a rock bottom offer of $25 and called this gal ours.

She did, however, need a face lift.  We removed her old knobs...

...filled in the double holes with wood filler...

...and sanded down the holes once they had a chance to dry.

We replaced the old knobs with vintage-y looking knobs from Home Depot and gave her a good sanding-down.  I applied a new white coat of paint and voila, a new-old dresser for our little gal.

Hope you enjoyed.

xo,
