Left Behind Treasure

Hello! Hope you all are having a great day! I am loving the sunshine :) Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait!! Today I want to share a dresser that was left behind when my friend Sarah's tenants moved out. They are out of state now so I try to help out when they need anything done at the house back here in Kansas. The last tenants left quite a few things in the house that needed to be moved out and I was thrilled when Sarah told me to help myself!! Here is the dresser before:






As you can see it was missing the toe kick at the bottom. It also had some trim issues on the sides.





Oh but look what an awesome feature it had!!!





How cool is that?! So a new toe kick was added and new trim pieces applied. Those were then painted brown to match the stain color of the dresser.



Now time to give it a good sanding :)






I then decided to paint it in ASCP in Emperors Silk. It is a beautiful color or red. LOVE IT! I even loved the hardware, but gave it a coat of oil-rubbed bronze spray paint to update it.







So awesome! It didn't even make it to my booth. My lovely neighbor Holly bought it for her son's room. They are huge Husker fans so the color was great!  Here are a few more shots.







I have a feeling if the previous owners could see it now they would be sad that they left it behind!! I hope you enjoyed this transformation :) See you soon!! ~Christy
