Hey guys! Phew, why is it Monday already? Anyone else need a day in between Saturday and Sunday? I feel like I never have enough time to adult and to enjoy the simple things in life.
Today, I wanted to share our little makeover of this beauty of a dresser. I had desperately been on a hunt for a funky, chippy, farmhouse fresh dresser to finish off the guest bedroom. After hunting high and low, I came across this little gem on {of all places} The Facebook Marketplace. Anyone ever use Marketplace? I had NEVER thought to use it honestly. Randomly, one day after exhausting all my normal honey holes I decided “what the hell!” Here pops up this little guy. I messaged the seller, who promptly messaged back. The size was perfect! So off we went.
When we got there, we quickly realized it was in rough shape! Like, terrible. The rails to the bottom drawers were missing {not broken, just not there!}, many were missing or broken, the drawers pushed too far in, the wheels were rusted beyond “patina” and the side was warped. Oye! I had rehabbed a lot of pieces of furniture but never this bad. This baby probably lived in a barn or shed without consistent temperature control and was most likely exposed to moisture. Ugh! Well, after some negotiation, the price became reasonable. It was dovetailed and the right size. Mostly, we had like 4 days before my friend arrived and needed something in that room! So for $80 and a lot of anxiety over purchase remorse {what kind of project did I just got myself into… I did mention we were under a major time crunch right?}, we exchanged the cash and loaded the bad boy into the truck.
