----> Dresser



We have had this dresser forever and I have disliked it for...ever.  Three of the four drawers had broken tracks so every time I pulled a drawer out I ran the risk of losing a toe.  Chase had been using it in his room in the basement - but we recently got the boys bunk beds so now he and Boston are both upstairs and this lonely thing sat empty. 

I had a few thoughts.

1) we could use it for firewood this summer.
2)  post a "Free" ad on KSL
3)  fix it up!

I've been working on it in the garage and with the weather being slightly bipolar lately, this has taken a little longer than I was hoping.  I love the end result, though!




{the drawers aren't all falling out!}




Labor of Love: {final chapter}
disclaimer: I originally painted this a glossy white with the brown glaze and it was just short of a disaster when I got the idea to distress it.  Step away from the sandpaper, Barrus.  I ended up redoing it all.  But I'm glad because this is a million times cuter!

Primer
Paint:  BH&G Newsworthy Neutral
Brown Glaze for antique look
