Free Dresser Makeover

On one of my weekly trips (seriously...I think I may need a support group for this addiciton)

to the Habitat for Humanity store I saw this.

I was kind of like "eh" until I saw the FREE sticker on top

then I was like "WHOO HOO"!

Who cares if it's missing 2 drawers, some pulls, is partially laminate

 - it's FREE

Seriously when I see those free stickers I get a rush of adrenaline

similiar to the kind you get when you find a fabulous deal

on killer cute shoes

I proceeded to pull it out from under a pile of junk

check out the drawers and what not

only to find out it is heavy, solid and has dovetail drawers

I double checked to make sure it wasn't mis-marked and then

called for reinforcements to get it home

It sat in my garage for a while

while I tried to determine what I wanted to do with it

I finally dragged it downstairs with the help of my hubby

I proceeded to paint it a calm green, then a burgandy and finally a cool gray

I have the hardest time making a decision on color!

I was going to use this in my craft room for storage

but then my 3 year old saw it and determined it should go in her room

So I added some pink baskets

painted the inside of the drawers pink

and now it resides in Lilly's room

and I we love it
