Here is the dresser after Rob sanded it down. There was a lot of wood putty used to fix the corners that were in bad shape. The back leg was broken too, so that was fixed as well.
Here is the final product. Don't you love the chalk drawings on our driveway to go along with it? That's what we spent this beautiful 75 degree day doing while Rob finished up the dresser.
Dresser $25.00
Sample Paint $3.50
Total $28.50
