One More Roadside Rescue

As most of you know, roadside rescues are my favourite projects. Driving down the road one day, I spotted this dresser being discarded. Hubby was golfing so if I wanted it I had to act on my own. A lovely neighbourhood lady stopped to help me get it into the back of my car, thank goodness or I may not have been successful.
Brought it home to the garage and noticed some of the damage and started planning how to fix it, wood filler was not likely an option :)
My daughter wanted a dresser with the bottom portion repurposed for her cat's bed, so it began.
It was a fun and easy project. I didn't take a pic of the fence boards that were used for the floor of this cat den - will try to do that soon.

Enjoyed the project?

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Also is that a black stain you used or black paint? If so what brand?
How did you fill the missing veneer? I would fill with wood filler after sanding but wondered if that's what you did?
Love the colors
Were you able to re-purpose the bottom for the cat bed or did I somehow miss that photo?
