The one that got me hooked

 



    So I thought I would start off with the piece of furniture that got me hooked with making old things new again.

                                     

     

    This dresser was given to me sometime around High School I would say. It's gotten around for sure. I couldn't stand it anymore and thought I would just paint it out black for my sons room that I was redoing. Well a trip to the hardware store to find some simple pulls changed all that. I couldn't find anything basic and affordable that I liked. So I hit the clearance bin and saw these cute little blue knobs, knowing the room was going to be blue and green I thought OK these will work. Then the only other pulls I liked came only in black, not wanting it to be boring black on black my thought of painting the draws out different colors came about. 


   
    Describing this to my husband was a whole other thing but he went along with it anyway and this is what we came up with. I don't think I have loved another piece of furniture more, this was a labor of love from start to finish that my husband and I did together and I really do hope my son keeps it forever.
