*I had an impossible time taking pics of the thing-- but it's painted a really pale turquoise-ish blue and distressed with a smoke glaze on it :)

The Free Dresser
I love Craigslist and would most likely be embarrassed if someone looked through my computer history and saw how much I get on the site. I constantly have to ground myself from looking-- but it's so great to find what you need and even better when it's for freeeeee. :)
So before we moved into our new house I knew that for once my kids wouldn't be sharing a bedroom and so because of that we needed another dresser. Looked on Craigslist-- bam! found it and it was for freeeeeee! (have to add adam sandler expression seen in bedtime stories) so I had hubby pick it up that evening. Now it's emabarrasing to say that six months later I finally refinished it-- but the house threw me enough projects (and being pregnant) that I just couldn't pull myself to do it-- even though I love refinishing simple projects like this that take like a day--
But it is now done-- Yay!! It is by no means a nice dresser but you know what it functions and I love love love the feet, and Bryn's room (and baby's 2 now) will eventually have more of a vintage feel so it works :)
