    I love the idea of taking the bottom drawers out and making it unique furniture. This has opened my mind for display space in my room.

    im in the middle of just restoring the same color on a table that needed it i got a 300 and something dollar table for 40 bucks i fell in love with the antique color white of course the table itself ...so im just light sanding it and spraying just the top ...on that but like i said was looking for a entertainment /tv stand but i been seeing alot of videos and nothing came that close to yours so now im looking for a dresser lol to do the same ... i think its because you made it your own plus some tlc is what really makes for a great piece a of furniture ...going to watch what else you may have in between doing that table ...

    Girl your Goodwill be having some good deals. In my area (big city) they be price gouging at these thrift stores. It drives me crazy! I'm binge watching and these prices are unbelievable to me. I hope you can partner with someone to get on hgtv or diy network. It's simple but it's profoundly amazing.
