"Good" find

On Sunday Clay went to Goodwill to look for a dresser. This is what he brought home for me:


We started to clean it up before painting and realized the previous owners must of liked to paint this piece of furniture. They had painted it brown, then black, then pink and then finally a lighter brown. We sanded the top of the dresser with liquid sander and the electric sander.

This is what it looked like before we started to paint:

I painted it the same cream we used for the other pieces of furniture.



Clay then painted it with the brown glaze:


Instead of paying about $20 for new door pulls, we painted the ones that came with it.
Now we have a dresser for our guest bedroom!



Since we already had the paint this project only cost us the price of the dresser ($50). I would say we had a "good" find! We finished it in less than a week too! Looking forward to more projects to help make this house our home.
