Bargain Basement

When we lived in Lehi, a few years back now, I had a small obsession with finding cheap furniture at yard sales and refinishing them. It truly was addicting and I got some pretty cute things out of it. Then we moved, and my obsession turned into trying to clean and decorate a bigger house and yard.
This last spring I got the itch back. So I went out one Saturday and picked up several things. I just finished this dresser and I am so happy {even though it's the only one I've yet to finish this entire summer}. I put it in my craft room where I was in serious need of some extra storage.

After

$8 at a yard sale + some paint and knobs + a few days of work + a little love = A very happy Meg
