This was a dresser my husband found for me on the side of the road after telling me not to bring any more furniture into the house. :) Yep, He's a keeper.
The top was actually in fantastic condition, so I decided to leave it for now. It already had a really nice, hard coat of shellac.
All she needed was a good cleaning and coat of paint (or two).
I have to call her a "she" because her pretty step-sister is here.
A few crystal knobs (from Target), and she was all dressed up. She is going to be my "office" and storage for my inside art supplies.
I was excited I finally had a place to display the "new-to-me" paint-by-number picture I bought from The Farm Chicks show and my grandmother's mirror and $4 Goodwill lamp.

Love it ALL! Good job girl :)
I am so in love with your burlap lampshade....did you stencil the design on there and add the lace? Too cute!
Your goodwill lamp is like the one I can't afford at the Pottery Barn! Great find! The dresser is lovely, you could use it in any room of the house. Always a pleasure visiting! Love, Penny
