Re-do Project!

I have been searching for the PERFECT dresser for baby boy's room.  I wanted a long dresser so I can use it as a changing table and for clothing storage since both Ryan and I take up both of our closets :)  I have been looking on KSL religiously and missed out on a few great deals, but a few Saturdays ago I was laying in bed looking on the internet and found this guy! $45, solid, and not a single thing wrong with it! Can you say STEAL?!!!   Honestly, you have to look at furniture and think 'potential.'  A few years ago I wouldn't have even given this dresser a second look.  So my mom and dad helped me pick it up in their truck and then my mom and I spent one day sanding/priming/sanding/painting/sanding/painting/distressing.  It had some cool hardware but it was just an ugly gold color, so we spray painted those with Rustoleum Hammered in brown.  I am SO happy with how it turned out!  The dresser looks almost white, but it's really a very light gray/blue.  LOVE it! It'll match my baby bedding (which my amazing mother is making for me!) Can't wait to get it in my nursery!  Oh, and did I mention the whole project cost me $67?


 I don't really have a 'before' picture.  This is after I took all the drawers out and sanded.


This is while lying it on it's back so I could sand the edges.  I'll post a pic once I've got it all set up in my nursery.
