It was in rough condition but I hoped it was a diamond in the rough.
I paid only $15 for it.
After a lot of sanding and a lot of elbow grease, and $32 worth of knew knobs, it is looking good.
My husband has reinforced it in many places. She was a bit on the wobbly side. He still needs to add one more fix to the bottom drawer. It had broken when I dropped it out of the back of my car when I brought it home.
Thank goodness for that very handy hubby of mine.

WOW WOW WOW. That is all I can say! I passed up a dresser this morning because I thought it was in too rough a shape to be salvaged but now your photos give me hope and inspiration- it looks amazing! Excellent work!

You can make old things look really good when you know what you are doing, and you do.
