I stumbled upon this french provincial (I think) long dresser which is exactly what I've been envisioning for a master bedroom project. I've been looking for months, and prices for other long dressers easily hit $70 and up. This beaut was $39.99. What's even better is every draw works perfectly! Nothing sticks or gets stuck! This was a must!
It transported well just like this! Below is my inspiration pic. (Follow me on Pinterest).
Then, I realized there was a matching tall dresser nearby for $29.99! I currently have 3 closets and 2 dressers and that's still not enough storage for my clothing, sheets, towels, etc. Even though I wasn't in the market for 2 dressers, I couldn't separate these pieces - not for those prices. Needless to say, baby girl #2 came home with me as well.
Come to mama!
It gets even better! When we were loading the truck, the employee asked if we wanted a blanket for transportation and gave us a down comforter- in good condition!!! A freaking down comforter, people! I have been wanting one of these since 2006 when I had my first down comforter experience. And eww I know, it's a blanket from Goodwill. I never would have purchased it, but you know I washed it real well (oxi clean, tide, downy softener beads) and am def going to use it now that it was given to me. Look what down comforters are going for:
And to really top the cake, there was a stamp inside the dressers that said "Drexel." I googled it and saw that my pieces were likely built in the 1950's or 60's by a great quality furniture manufacturer. In fact, my pieces might actually be worth some dough!
Pretty much $70 well spent.
Side note: Yesterday I found 2 more chairs ($2.99 each) for my dining table that I'm going to re-paint. I'm thinking oil rubbed bronze... Like my hustle?
I have 2 upholstered head chairs, now 2 wood chairs, all that's left is a bench for a table of 6.
This weekend= great success.
