Elegant Vintage Dresser

This dresser was given to me and although it wasn't in terrible shape it really needed a lift. After stripping, sanding, painting and wallpapering, it has become an elegant stand alone piece.

    OMG Lisa ! Where did you get this dresser?! I gave the EXACT dresser away about 10 years ago! It was my part of my parents bedroom furniture and there were 2 mirrors attached to the back! I also gave away the nightstands, but kept the tall dresser for my son and re-purposed it in a beautiful bright blue and red, with new hardware! I couldn't believe it when I saw your picture!! Beautiful job!! I don't know if it is actually my parents dresser, but I am going to show my mom anyway!

    Lisa Lozzi-Quinn. I got the dresser from my cousin who just didn't need it anymore. She had it for years. Your dresser certainly does look like its from the same set! They were made so well back then weren't they?
