About 8 months ago we were out for a Sunday walk and came across this dresser sitting out in someones front yard. Now in Wisconsin that means it is free game. So we hurried back home and Jake went back to claim our prize. I was so excited about this because Jake always finds so many good things. Whether it be in the dumpster int he back ally or in someones front yard. 
So this dresser literally sat in our basement for 8 months before we finally finished it. I did all the sanding and the first coat of spray paint and Jake finished with the rest. I did, however, pick out the hardware. Funny thing about this was our friend told us it would only take about 4 cans of spray paint. Interesting....because it took 12 cans!!!! Now, I don't know if that's because my dear sweet husband, who is a perfectionist, did the rest or we are just stupid and don't know how to spray paint. Either way it is finished and looks fabulous!!!
This is our third garbage find since we've been here. Since we already had one dresser and one bedside table we decided we should paint those as well to match. I'm really starting to think our room is coming together. Well, it will when we move in to a place that I can actually paint the walls. We still have the big dresser left and we probably won't get that done until it gets warmer so we can do it outside. But I love the finished product. It really is such a cute dresser! Jake did a fabulous job on it! Thanks honey!
