My wife Tracy and I wanted a dresser like this for one of the bedrooms in the new house. Well Tracy went to work looking for one on Craigslist and E Bay ( She is the best at hunting down a bargain). After only one day she found an add for a solid wood dresser for sale in our area. When I came home from work she let me know there was a project in the back of her vehicle for me.
I was very impressed with what she had found. This was a serious solid wood dresser. With me having a couple of days off prior to our trip to Cabo (and Tracy needing me out of her hair while she finished all the details needed for the trip) I started on this right away.
The dresser had never been finished, it was just raw wood. This was a plus for me because no stripping was needed. Just a little light sanding is all it required for prep work.
Tracy, as the main decorator, had decided that the dresser should be black. She had picked out some Krylon Satin Black paint.
I discovered that the knobs did not match. After a quick trip to Menards the dresser was complete.
Total cost of our dresser $65.00
This is our dresser and the Pottery Barn dresser
Pretty Big Bargain!!
The dresser looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bea, We are really happy with it.
DeleteHi Mike, I was wondering if you had any plans for this dresser? I would like to build one myself. Actually I should say, I NEED to build one. Everything out there in stores is worthless or way too expensive. Please let me know. Thank you. Craig.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I don't have plans for this dresser. Tracy had bought it at a garage sale. When I first started building things I got most of my plans from Anna White. Her site is the absolute best for finding plans and seeing DIY projects.( I have even put a few of my projects on the brag post) I will be posting some projects that I've been working on over the next week or so.
