POWW 82: A Furniture Link Party

Happy POWW!  I have a fun dresser to share today!  First of all I want to preface and say that I got this dresser through my local freecycle and the ad said there were two dressers.  So I called my partner Sarah to see if she wanted to meet me there and we would each get one.  It was pretty much a midway point for us, so it was perfect.  We got there and were thrilled at how cute the dressers were, but also had a chuckle because they were a pair!  They are the same exact style and size, so I am anxious to see what she does with hers.  While there, the gentleman also gave is each a twin bed, and yes they match, too!

Anyhow, I am sharing all of he details of this makeover at the DIY Club today, but I am going to give you a quick before and after here.

I love the finished color. It is just perfect for that piece. I can't believe you got it for free! It is adorable! I haven't tried that Briwax in Golden Oak, definitely going to order some. I love that it isn't too dark, but just ages it nicely. Thanks for sharing! -K
