Antique dresser coffee bar

 
In the summer, I began a search for a dresser to hold my coffee makers. I originally had a long dresser in mind and wanted to paint all but the top. 
Although I searched locally and in surrounded counties for one that was affordable and had the look I wanted, I ended buying something totally different. 


THIS beauty caught my eye at an antique store in Smiths Grove. I never thought I would be able to afford anything there because it is very pricey! But to my amazement, it was priced at $150. Of course I had to see if they would take less, and the kind man took 15% off. 


The top ended up being in the worst shape, so rather than leaving it wood, I painted and varnished it and left the bottom original. After a lot of wood filler, sanding, and paint, it looked perfect! 
 

 I love the way it turned out!
 

Have you tackled any dresser projects?

XOXO,
Ashley
