My mom and I set out one Sunday to browse the thrift stores in town. We also hit some furniture stores, which really didn't interest me. I like to find treasures, not new stuff. lol
Our last stop that day was the Goodwill store. This one is one of my favs because I have found some great items there. I had been eyeballing an antique dresser there since before Christmas to see if they might lower the price. Of course they hadn't, but they moved it from the back of the store to the front. I figured I had better make an offer or someone else might! They were asking $50.00 for it and that really wasn't a bad deal since it was still in very good shape, considering.
My mom encouraged me to go ask if they would take less for it...off I went and to my surprise....they said I could have it for $35.00! Yes! Sold!
Here is what the dresser looked like once I got it home and into my makeshift workshop...the garage (thanks honey!)
It's almost completely finished and I am hoping to have it in our bedroom before the day is out. I'll be posting more photos and how I got the look! Stay tuned...
