BIG RED DRESSER REDO...

BIG RED

This dresser was given to me by a lady when i answered a craigslist add. I originally went there to pick up a small unfinished dresser and she told me she was moving and could'nt take alot of stuff with her. She let me have this dresser and some other pieces for free. I thank her very much. I sent her an email with the finished result to which she told me she was glad someone got the pieces that would appreciate them and
"who knew they could look so good"



BEFORE...





AFTER..
BIG RED !!!



I stained the top and painted the rest. restored the cork that was onthe top which acts like a shadow box and
replaced the knobs.



LOVE THE WAY IT TURNED OUT I
HOPE YOU LIKE HER..

    Again, WOW, how in the world can it get any better, you got this for FREE< you made it yourself> and it looks better than anything you could get at the store, I LOVE IT!!!!

    That shadowbox on top is a BRILLIANT idea. I want a dresser JUST like that.

    Ok, PLEASE you know what to do, I know what a pain I am, BUT girl, you got me head over heels for your projects. You are AWWWWESOME!!!

    Love it! Found your blog via SNS and so glad I did. Guess I'm your newest follower.

    I have a buffet to redo...any advice would be most welcome! I think red is the color I'm choosing for it too.

    Stop by and say hi when you can ~

    I love big Red!!! I have also made over Craigslist finds and then emailed the pictures back to the owner. They are always so thrilled to see the changes. You did an awesome job on that dresser!
