Hey they left it, and I should re-purpose it!


Bill, the previous estate owner of our new home, was going to throw out this dresser!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? My Nonna (grandma) always used to tell me that one man's junk is another man's treasure. I  must have been listening at one of her famous neighborhood garage sales because I was all over this.  I made sure to ask him to leave it.

I think it has charm, it just needs a whole lot of lovin! Lovely new paint, lovely new hardware, and a lovely new spot.  Now, all I need is  some suggestions as to what I should do with it?

  1. I think this dresser would love amazing in turquoise with some hardware from Anthropologie's clearance section!

    Or white!

  3. keeping it, I would like to put it in my office to store all my magazines and supplies. My office is currently a blank palette, but I did discover a pine flooring under my vinyl floor which I am going to sand down and keep as a natural pine, you can see it here, http://mykorneroffice.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-korner-office-momcave.html I would like to do color!

  4. When you decide what to do with this piece you can help me with the tall dresser I have from my grandmother, oh and the bedroom set from my husband's parent, circa 1978 :)
