Pinkies Up
Jan 14, 2011
Estate sales are always a bit of a letdown for me. I think the name implies too much. Estate Sale. How fancy! I'm expecting Marilyn Monroe's grand piano and instead I find your Aunt Barb's collection of jelly jars. They should just call them "More stuff than your average yard sale Sales."
Anyhoo, Better After reader Joanna found this dresser for $35 at an estate sale. The finished product really has an Alice in Wonderland vibe going on, don't you think? I love all the curves.

Love harlequin patterns!! I get the Alice in Wonderland vibe too, in a foxy, lux way!
The key detail is precious, nice hustle!

That first piece is a total SCORE!
So pretty, I just hope the kids don't trompe on the l'oeil.
I absolutely love the first one, and impressed with the detailing on the second one!
Love it! Just an FYI, though, the "after" pic is still labeled "before." :-)
The first "after" pic, I mean :-)
That first one is seriously awesome!! Seriously!! :)
Beautiful transformation!
I have a question...How do you get rid of the musky odour that usually lingers in the drawers of these old dressers?
Wow, that dresser is a.maz.ing!
You know what I love about this blog? I don't know what I enjoy most about it, the b&a's or how funny you are when you describe them. Your wittiness is also a.maz.ing. Thanks for the daily laughs!
I could not agree with you more - I think they just call them estate sales so they can charge more for the same junk. At least that's how it is in my neighborhood - it's really quite annoying.
These makeovers however, are simply gorgeous!
