I got an email from a gal today laughing about the “Better Befores” and she thought we should start another series about the unsalvageable crap that should have never made it onto your property in the first place. I said we could call it “Better … that you keep your money.” And this dresser from Kristy at 4 the love of wood looks like the perfect candidate to start us off. There is no saving this thing, right?
I mean, right?
Drats! Foiled again! Beautiful job Kristy! I can’t even believe my eyes.

Nicely done!
