I have completed quite a few projects lately and have many in the works!
Here is a project that I have been working on since January. I found some dressers and night stands on KSL.com that were just right for the boys' room. They had remodeled the Marriott in Park City and a man bought the furniture to resell. They were a golden colored pine and had holes drilled into the top where the T.V.s were mounted, but otherwise good sturdy solid wood pieces.
I sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded....
Then filled holes and dings, and finally painted them. Three coats of primer paint some distressing and a little stain on the distressed areas (because I knew our two boys would do some distressing of their own) got them looking pretty good. Then two coats of polyurethane finished them off.
Here are the finished dressers. (Sorry, I never seem to remember to take before pictures.)
If you look closely, you will notice the red one is missing a knob. I know I painted and finished it but when I went to get them and put them on, one was missing. I keep waiting for it to show up but I guess I will have to get a new one. *Sigh*
The boys really like them and it sure beats trying to cram all of their clothes into one dresser! I figure I spent about a third of what I would have spent to buy them at a furniture store and I got to choose the style and color I wanted.
