There was a pair of dressers...
 |  |
They lived in the basement and collected nothing but dust bunnies...
Until one day, a young {HA! I wish} girl spotted them and shouted with glee...
The young girls Grandma saw her excitement and said three simple words...
You want it?
Well that girls smile grew even bigger but she knew she'd have to convince her Boo~Bear that she absolutely MUST have them...MUST HAVE THEM!!!
After much begging he gave her the thumbs up...
And the dusty, lonely dressers made their way to a new home...
where they would spend nights in the cold garage, have their pieces removed, their skin sanded continuously, had their holes filled with horrible brown putty...
and then were subjected to being brushed with paint...
over and over and over again...
And finally had their parts replaced.
These two dressers had been dreaming of being moved inside where it was warm
and they knew that now was the time...
Because they now had a whole new wardrobe and were loved even more by the young girl...
The end...
or is it?!?
Love that you painted the top black!

Great job. Love the transformation. I'm currently working on my bedroom furniture and it's so fun to see it all come to life again.
ReplyDeleteOh. my gosh! I had furniture just like that as a kid, and if I'd known it were possible to make it look that classy, I'd have kept mine! Great job!
