Refinished Dresser

My amazing husband completed the Baby's dresser this weekend.  This dresser was a piece of furniture that his parents bought him a long time ago.  When Nick moved in with me, we decided to store it at my parent's house in my old bedroom.  Who would've thought just 1 1/2 years later that it would be refinished, painted green and put into our Baby's room!  I LOVE it.  You can't see from the pictures but he wrote a personal note to the baby written inside the dresser.  Just when I think he's stolen my heart he does it again.  He worked so hard on this and it shows.  Me and Baby are so proud and can't wait to begin filling up the drawers!

  3. Hi Wendi! Thanks so much for sharing your baby's dresser! Your husband did a fantastic job. I love that it can work for a boy or a girl. Such a pretty color. :)
