Well, that didn't take long. Walter had agreed to build the apothecary t.v. stand I liked so much, but I knew he still didn't love it, it would take a while, and it might not be so cheap to build because it's a big piece. After looking around at our other options for a t.v. stand online a little, I decided to check Craigslist. Craigslist is so hit or miss that I figured I'd just keep an eye on it for a while and see what I could find. Low and behold last night I found this solid wood dresser for only $50. I really like the details on it, especially the woven cupboards on each side.
Here it is from farther back. Sorry so many of my pictures are bad, but I usually take them at night when the kids are in bed. The wall color isn't very accurate in this picture and some of our work stuff is out. I've been "kilz-ing" the hallway doors tonight.
I am IN LOVE with this dresser. I am totally shocked that it was only $50!! It looks amazing. Clearly, you can probably guess what I'd do with it since you've seen my buffet in my entry way. I love the look of white with a dark wood top. I will also say that a super distressed look is not my style, either. That was the first item we did it on, and what we did do is very, very light. It really does add to the piece. It's not enough that you even notice the distressing at first glance but enough to give it some depth and character. It was also fun to do (once I got over my fear of ruining it!). Can't wait to see what you decide to do with this; I really do love the piece.
