Hmmmm. I’m all for encouraging creativity in your children, but … this is the point where you gently take the Sharpie away and “accidentally” haul the dresser downstairs, load it in the trunk and drop it off at Goodwill. And sign that kid up for an art class, cuz damn.
You are probably thinking that I’m confused and used the wrong after picture. Nope! Kristy from 4 the Love of Wood used the fuggo dresser as bones for this lovely … what would you call it? It’s much fancier than a shelf … étagère? Fantastic all the same. Thanks Kristy!

March 3, 2011 at 5:29 PMMan I love clever people who can see whole DIFFERENT pieces of furniture out of things.
That is beautiful.
Not gonna lie, I’m sorta obsessed with the giant oval clock on her shelf even more than the shelf itself.

March 3, 2011 at 10:10 PMNow that takes vision! The “before” reminded me of when my 14yo was a toddler. He was just so fast and mischievous. He’s even faster and still mischievous, but 14yo mischief isn’t the same as 3yo mischief. Thanks for sharing this terrific makeover, and for the trip down memory lane.
