one of my favorite pieces of furniture

There is something about this piece of furniture that I absolutely LOVE! It might be all of the character that it has, or maybe because it is was one of my very first furniture fix-ups, or it could also be the fact that my husband grew up with it in his room? Whatever the reason, I adore this piece!



When I first got this piece, it had never been painted or fixed up, a true diamond in the rough. I was so excited to start fixing it up for my little boy's room. I sanded it, painted it, distressed it just a bit, fixed all of the drawers, bought new knobs, and added some small bun feet. My husband suggested that I get new mirrors and fix all the little dings and dents, but those are the things that add character and make this piece so charming!

    Aww I love how it looks! And the best thing is, when your little boy gets older, he can have it at his house and tell his family that your hubby had it when he was a kid :) I love sentimental pieces of furniture. And yes, dings and dents definitely add character! It shows that it's been well-loved over the years.

    It's lovely. The dents and dings are the best part of a re-do. I painted a similar wardrobe that my uncle built for my aunt when they were newlyweds and I'm so happy every time I see it. Cream outside, apple green in!
