My Latest Project

I’ll edit this later with more details on the process, but right now I just want to show off. I got this pair of dressers for $5 at a yard sale, mended them, covered them in Target wrapping paper, and attached some Ikea capita legs. I envision using them as a sideboard when I have a dining room that’s actually used for entertaining. Right now they’re in the living room holding the tv. I’m really happy with the result, though I’m worried about their durability.

I just got back to my family home in New Hampshire and I plan on staying for about a month, so there won’t been any more furniture projects for a while.
