An Old Dresser Becomes a New Buffet
"My friend was getting ready to trash an old dresser that was sitting in her spare bedroom. At the last minute she snapped a pic and asked me if I wanted it. Of course I wanted it. Anyone can go out and buy a new piece a furniture but when you upcycle new pieces you can own a treasure that is unequaled! With a spare weekend and a little paint I created a "new” piece that is sure to become a new family heirloom buffet. See full tutorial post for full details."
