My Alley Crawling Find! Antique Dresser ready for the landfill has a new purpose!
Hubby gutted it out and added more support boards. I gave it a good sanding!
Gave it a paint job! My color choice is a Greyish Fig!
Time to dress it up with this FAB vintage BOLD upholstery fabric I found at a thriftstore.  Added a crystal knob for the drawer and a few crystal embellishments to touch up the back.   I also trimmed the top with chipped moulding I salvaged from a 1892 home.
