homemade Pottery Barn dresser

After realizing how very little closet space we actually have in this apartment we realized that getting a dresser would be unavoidable, although we tried. But we really couldn't find one that we liked for a price we were willing to pay right now. (Tough to buy ALL your furniture at the same time... lots of money to dish out!) So we found this one on KSL for $50.


It's a pretty good size and was in decent shape, except that the (ugly) drawer pulls were missing on 4 of the 6 drawers, and there were some dents and dings and scribbles in various areas.


No worries though- we removed the two ugly pulls, filled in the holes on all the drawers, sanded the entire thing down, and painted it black.


Then we drilled one NEW hole in the middle for our cute new knobs, and I sanded down all the edges to add a little extra charm.

...TUNE IN NEXT TIME to see the finished product! i.e. as soon as I take a picture of it.
