Chippy Dresser Makeover

After 10 years of marriage, I finally have a decent dresser!

Do you like it??
If you're a regular FB fan of ours, you may have remembered an entertaining convo we had asking how much you'd pay for this dresser:

Lol, most of you said not more than $50!  I'm laughing because this dresser would NEVER have crossed my mind BEFORE I came across this baby:

I learned SO MUCH about finishing furniture from this e-book.  I thought I knew a lot as I taught myself along the way, you know, just by being brave enough to try new things.  I quickly realized, though, that I had much, much more to learn.  Basically, their catch phrase is: "This is the book we wish we had before we started finishing furniture."  Definitely worth the money... in my opinion (;

Now that I had an idea of how to really redo this piece the right way, it was fun to transform it:

 Viola!

Here she is residing in my master bedroom:

Just take a look at that chippy-ness! 

*whistle*

And the pulls! 

Oh, the pulls... love them.

I think the top is my favorite, though (:

  Consider this a sneak peek of this in-progress room.  

I know, I know... no judging... it's a WORK-in-progress, remember?  I've gotten as far as painting but hope to have it finished this month in honor of my 10 year anniversary! ♥
