Bought this old dresser for like $10.00, an friend did not want it any more. Repainted white and put new handle pulls on it for the guest bedroom.

Beautiful dresser. So sweet. You are very talented. Did you stencil the flowers?

Thank you, I found the stencils at Wal-mart and used blue paint.

Thanks, I love doing this kind of stuff but hard to find old things here and hard some times when money is tight.

Looks to me like you are doing a pretty good job of finding stuff! Like the door at Goodwill. I've gotten a lot of neat stuff at garage sales for very little money. I think a home filled with special finds and things you've actually created is so much more meaningful than if you went to a furniture store and just picked out everything. I wish I would have had Pinterest and Hometalk when I was first married and starting a home. Oh, I pinned your dresser too!

Yes, Good will is my stopping place. I feel so bad for some of the things people do not want any more I want to take it all and re use... Thanks.

Thanks, every one. I was a little worry before I started it but I thought what the worst could happen I'll just paint over any mistakes..lol
