Beth's Blue Beauty

 Sep 28, 2010

Before: A vanity that no one could love. Well, maybe a hoarder. Or a blind person who needed the storage. But besides that, no one.
After: A 'blue ocean breeze' beauty. Beth from Sawdust and Embryos knew this former hunk o junk had potential, and she deserves an award for being able to judge that from this original before photo from Craigslist.
{Rambling side note: WHY oh WHY do people post such crappy pictures on Craigslist? Is the technology that baffling? Do they figure that a blurry picture taken from 80 feet away on a rainy day with their kid's Fisher Price Digi-Cam, uploaded to the size of half a postage stamp is really going to entice buyers? Is it that hard to kick the mounds of crap and clutter out of the background or dust at off at least the top layer of dust before taking the picture? I'll never understand. But hey, I guess low expectations mean low prices, right?}
Anyways, it's just gorgeous now. I love all the little scroll-y details. Thanks Beth!

Beautiful transformation!!

I had a dresser on the plan of this one when I was growing up.. I loved it back then, and still do! Oh gosh, I sure would love to have it now and have it refinished like this one!

Blessings,

LOL I agree with your crappy pictures on craigslist. I had a favorite tho it was a picture of a cat but the picture had no cat it was a living room picture. Beautiful dresser!

I actually caught my breath when I saw this, then shed a tear of envy and awe. Maybe two tears.
