Very old dresser

This dresser has quiet a history.

My understanding is that it was the first dresser for my husbands uncle when he was a boy.

Little boy clothes, and underwear once sat nestled in the cute little drawers.

Fast forward many years later, it was now in the bedroom of another little boy.  My brother in law.  This is where I believe the wear and tear really happened. :)

More years passed and it was now the one and only dresser in my husband's college apartment.

Then when I got married it traveled with us to our big house in the burbs.  Originally I wanted to get rid of it.

The bottom two drawers were slightly broken, so in went the baskets.

 I don't have a before, before picture.  But here it is after one of my very first paint job's ever.  Before the blog and when I thought a thick coat of glossy white would do the trick.

I stripped off the white on the drawers, sanded and stained them.  I painted the frame a warm green color.

I left some of the white paint on purpose.  I liked the look of it flaking off the edges.

Hard ware from Hardware Hut .  I will be filling them in with specified labels for each drawer.
