My first Treasure!

Hello!

This was my first find last summer! It was at a tag sale sitting all by itself. It had no price. I was admiring it! I saw the beauty it had! I asked the man what he wanted for the dresser. He said $5.00! I said "I'll take it". I thought to myself what a bargain! It was just up the street from my house, and I had to go get my husbands pick-up truck. I told the man I'd be back in 5 minutes to pick up my new treasure!



Isn't it a beauty! I sanded it. I put a primer on it. I painted it Be Mine (a pretty pale pink). My mom bought the beautiful knobs for the second hand beauty! Here it is in my bedroom!

Not to shabby for my first piece!
Goodnite!
