Well I have finally bought a dresser!! (I know it's sad how excited I am I've got a dresser lol) I found it on fleabay and in all honesty it looked in much better condition on the pics than it is real life but with some tlc (and a damn good clean because you felt like you needed to shower after touching it) it should look completely different in a few days.

not yet, debating to wax or not to wax i like the way it is a bit rough, but i've got a 2 year old so waxing would be a good idea to keep it clean and i'm planning to buy lamps for this table so again waxing would be a good idea. i ordered wax on amazon yesterday so waiting for it to be delivered.and i also gonna distress it too but need to buy some sand paper firstFlorenceem wrote: »Did you wax?
