I am so excited! After months and months of searching, I finally found a dresser on craigslist. AND it only cost $20! I am so stoked. As soon as I saw it and the owner emailed me the dimensions, I just knew it was going to work in our bedroom and that it would be mine.
Here it is. I love that it's a classic style. It's not too dated and has a little character to it. I was super happy to see it wasn't painted, just had a light finish on it. Sanding it was so easy!
It has a lot of scratches on top and stickers stuck on the drawers, but sanding took care of all that. It's pretty sturdy too.
I have sanded it all down and have started to prime it. My hand is starting to hurt from holding down the spray paint bottle, but oh well. A small sacrifice to pay. :) I should be able to finish priming it today and start painting it tomorrow. I'm really hoping to have it done by Saturday. I am just so thankful that I finally found one. It's really been on my mind lately.
It's kind of funny, because the day or two before I found it, I just really felt this urgency to check craigslist, like ALL the time. I was talking to my mom and mentioned this. We started talking about how Heavenly Father knows what you need and want and He helps you get those things when you're doing your part. During the summer my mom had a garage sale. She had a bunch of my brother's stuff in her garage that she was trying to get rid of. There was this big chair that was really taking a lot of room, but no one seemed interested in it. My mom said a prayer, just asking Heavenly Father to please help her sell it. Then all of a sudden over the next hour, about 5 people stopped by and asked to buy it. By then, she was holding it for another person. She said how kind it was of Heavenly Father to be so generous and help her out like that. I don't mean to get all spiritual over a dresser, but I know that Heavenly Father led me to this dresser and I'm so appreciative of it. He knew it was something I really wanted and would make me happy.
Hopefully, my next post will be about the finished product. :)
