For $15 I got this little four-drawer dresser. It was a bit banged up, missing a drawer pull, and the top drawer was missing a part and didn't really slide in and out, but it was $15 and I saw the possibilities!
After a few repairs, a thorough sanding, a couple coats of paint, and some new knobs, it now looks like this -
I removed the broken piece of wood that was on the bottom of the dresser and replaced it with a bit of baseboard molding. So much better! Now it looks like a real piece of furniture rather than something a home carpenter made!
I love the new knobs! Can you believe they were only $1.50 each at Michael's?? Gotta love that store!
So pretty!
I used some pretty wrapping paper to mod podge onto the dresser drawer just to add a little extra prettiness
What do yo all think? Not bad for $15, right? :o)

this is inspiring! We have two old dressers for our kids and I have been dying to replace them lately. Why did it never occur to me to just give them a face lift! Thanks :)
Really cute! I think all the stuff at my Goodwill is over priced too ;)
Awesome re-do. I have one 50s dresser that's been sitting in my garage, begging to be re-done. We don't have Goodwill stores here (yet), but the three Salvation Army stores are waaaay overpriced.
Love this!! I have a dresser I hate, and something like this would be a simple and perfect way to update it!
I'm here from a blog party and glad I was able to check out your blog. I'm your newest follower and will be back soon.
My goodness, talk about an amazing makeover. Now it looks like it's from Pottery Barn. Kudos!
I, too, Posted about a cute little piece of furniture today, plus an awesome find from Goodwill to go with. Too fun!
Happy Spring,

very cute!
I have always wanted to find something at the thrift store that I could transform just like this. Well done!
I can't wait to see what your next creation is.
