Furniture Facelift Friday: Baby Dresser

This baby dresser is definitely a labor of love! The detail on it is amazing! I would like to say that I would have the patience to pull off this level of handiwork, but I am afraid I am too lazy…

Malissa worked on it with her daughter Amy and finished it right before Amy’s daughter was born. The dresser has been in the family a long time. Malissa has owned it since her kids were little, and it’s traveled to Utah and back for her kids to use in college. That is what I love most about old furniture, it is built to last. I would choose an old restored piece of furniture over something new from a showroom any day. And bringing an old piece back to life means less junk in the landfills!

Furniture Facelift Friday:
Every Friday I post before and after pics of a furniture restoration or repurpose. If you have any before and after photos you would like to submit, just post them to my Facebook wall at www.facebook.com/Jonesing2Create and you might be featured on my blog!
