Tiny Dresser

I found this dresser on craigslist at an estate sale. It was from a hobby farm and we all know how much I love the idea of living on a farm! Especially a hobby farm.

I was so excited to go there, BUT, it was stinkin' cold and I had two of the kids with me, so, it was an in and out trip, but it was fun to wander through all the farm buildings.

I paid more than I normally would, but I think it was worth it. I love it!

I had to pry the pulls off, they were nailed in from the front. I didn't want to, but there was a lot of grime and gross stuff on them and under them...(imagine horse poo and flour and other things...) I just had to take them off.

Here's what it looks like right now. I had to glue the door together with liquid nails and I'm going to have to drill holes for the pulls, but it is in pretty good shape. I took a sander to it and smoothed all the rough edges and got rid of some of the layers a bit more. It's got a bazillion layers of paint, and I just don't really want to get rid of all of them. I just love all the layers. If you've been reading for awhile, you know I'm all about "a story". Old furniture pieces have a story...Old houses have a story....I love a good story.

I intend to add these Martha Stewart for Home Depot pulls. Because I love them.

I think that will be it. I think. I also like the thought of painting it blue...or yellow....or gray...or white....we'll see once I get those pulls.

Do you have any furniture that could tell a story?
