Distressed Red Dresser

Moving day has come and gone. We've been in our new abode for nearly 2 weeks and we finally just got internet set up this weekend (dang you, CenturyLink for taking so long to send us our modem!). 

We're grateful for family with strong arms, patient hearts & pick-up trucks, boxes from Will's work,  our new apartment with plenty of sunshine, a soft bed to rest on & free furniture.

 Free Dresser. Yay!



 The handles were glued on so I spray painted them on the dresser.

 First of three coats of paint and an additional coat of wax.

 A coat of wax and some buffing...

Transporting it from my sister's barn to our apartment abode.




We got a dresser for free off the side of the road. Pretty plain, but I saw it's full potential. A little bit of chalk paint, tough love (aka distressing) & wax and we have ourselves a new distressed red dresser.
