This dresser belongs to Allison, another friend of my sister. It's a beautiful old piece. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It's going in her son's room that she is doing with a nautical theme.
BEFORE
As they say, "It has great bones"
AFTER
She just wanted a really dark stain. I love staining wood because all it does is darken the natural wood. So you are left with the beautiful patterns in the wood. Some areas always end up darker than others and I just love it!!
I think this piece was made out of three different types of wood. As you can see the sides are different than the drawers. I think it just adds to the beauty.
(Of course, my dad thinks it's a crime to paint real wood, so when I do this he is happy.
Can't you just picture it in a nautical room!
Yummy
