My first DIY project

I found a pretty cheap dresser on craigslist, and after being inspired by this blog, decided to go for it.

I tried to convince Spence that I needed his help by telling him that sanding and trips to Home Depot were masculine. He still think it classifies as a "craft." He was a great helper, as always.

Sanding

Painting

The finished product! Still working on decorating it and getting new pulls. I am starting to like the vintage feel of the original ones though, what do you think?

as i said at your halloween party, i really like the antique drawer pulls. but it could also look really good with lots of other ones too- just depends on your style!

and this is totally not a craft, spencer. totally a masculine thing.
