New Old Dresser

This dresser was a fun, quick transformation. The boys' clothes are getting too big to fit into the little drawer systems I have in their closets, so I decided to get a dresser for them. I was very picky in my expectations. I wanted four drawers that all were exactly the same size. I also prefer antiques. I never thought I would find one, especially in our price range. I had to decide if I was going to wait around until I found one that fit my description or if I try to find something new that would make do.

My parents happened to be in an antique shop, and noticed the dresser. It was $100. In our budget, that's a good chunk. Ryan and I went by to check it out before we committed. It was exactly what I wanted, so I had to grab it up! Before I purchased it, I asked the owner if she could do any better. It's always worth a shot. The worst they can say is no. She came down to $90.

A little while back, I picked up some sports knobs at Kids Market. That was another reason I needed four drawers. I added the knobs, and it is the perfect touch to their bedroom!

What have you found that fit exactly what you needed?
