Refinished Dresser

In true Nestor fashion, we always do our best to get something we need for way less than full price.  As we've been setting up the baby's room, we've been on the prowl looking for furniture at lower cost that we could fix up/refinish to look the way we like.  As we were out at garage sales one Saturday, we came across a real wood dresser (so we knew it was quality) that was in great condition.  Check it out below.

Note the fantastic throw-back style hardware.  The best part (by far) about this dresser is that, after some bargaining, we walked away with it for $30!!!  If you can tell me where to get a better deal than that, let's just say I'd like to be your best friend.

The first thing we did was to take off the bulky knobs it sits on.  We also took off the hardware with plans to replace it all.  The tricky part here is that we needed to fill those previous holes before painting.  After a lot of sanding to get some old finish off and down to the bare wood, Casey decided on a Navy Blue paint to match the other stuff in the baby's room.  You can see the finished product below.  It really looks great in the room and (even though it's kind of tough to see) it really goes well with the stripes on the wall.
