I found this little dresser thing at a garage sale and knew I could do something with it. It was in pretty bad shape.
There was supposed to be two more drawers in it, but they weren’t there. So I took the back off and then used the sawsall to cut off those triangle pieces and that piece of wood that was a guide for the drawers.
I thought about putting a shelf in there, but I wanted to make it a little more versatile. So, I left it off. It wouldn’t be hard at all to put a shelf in if someone wanted one. I filled the holes with wood filler, sanded them and turned the back around so the smooth side faced in.
I was also thinking about going bold, but then decided to make it more neutral in case I wanted to keep it! I painted it ASCP Paris Gray and waxed it.
I do love it. But, I listed it. It’s okay. I can’t keep them all!

What a great project – the end result looks terrific!
Hi there thanks for sharing your amazing work which is really useful to me. Hey what paint you have used to paint this dresser? I really like white furniture for my house. Recently I have painted one of my old dresser with Rustoleum Blossom white spray and now it looks awesome in my city apartment.
