A mid century, cheap, sad dresser for $30
The legs on the dresser were so unstable
The fake wood was chipping away.
There are some dressers you HAVE to paint. This dresser was sad! But after much wood filler, paint, new (old) legs (which I already had and some new handles...
I decided to accent the drawers with brass handles which I found for smokin deal. I thought it would add some detail with the birds. I love good knobs/handles...it's like jewelry on a dresser.
When I purchased the brass handles they were completely brown but I sanded them a bit to bring out the gold which I thought complemented the distressed dresser.
