aldersprigOkay!
This blog has motivated me, and I am going to, sometime probably-this-winter, redo our old dresser (a hand-me-down from when I was a kid.)
It needs new feets, need knobs (doesn't NEED those) and, I think, a two-tone effect to go with the bedroom-that-will-be.
My big issue: right now there is a bookshelf atop it. This shelf was made by Fatherman and I, but it needs to be re-re-done at this point into something more fitting. I'm thinking re-building it, with a back, into a basic bookcase the same size as the top of the dresser...
...then painting everything offwhite with darkbrown trim.
Yes, because gutting a house wasn't a big enough project.
Fun link for bonus - http://www.slashgear.com/cave-the-bookcase-with-built-in-seat-094690/ A "cave" bookcase with built in seat!
And some really funky bookcases (some, clearly, for people who do not have books the way we have books).
