Isn't she lovely...

How many of you spend waaaay too much time on craigslist? Well, I'm a craigslist fiend, almost to the point of going to craigslist anonymous. I've got a problem. I don't know who this Craig fella is, but what a great idear:) Well, anyway I found a bargain, it's a gorgeous dresser, and she's beautiful, dontcha think???



I love her and she only cost me $30! Yep, $30. and zero cents. She needs a little TLC and some polishin up...............



But, for $30.00 I'm willing to spruce her up............




I think with a little elbow grease, some apple green paint, and mahogany stain, she'll be the envy of the hood........

I'll be working on her for a while, and I'll be happy to share sneak peeks along the way

    Susi, that's a gorgeous old oak piece. I might think twice about painting that one. I don't love new oak, but the older oak is quite pretty. But, I'm sure it will be pretty painted too.

    She is beautiful. There are quite a few spots where the veneer has chipped off, if I can rescue this piece with refinishing, I most certainly will:) If not, that apple green is callin my name. Thanks for all of the encouragement and great advice girls.
