I agree with Isabel as well and think just a little fixin' up and a wax or even an oil rubbed finish would have been perfect... not diggin' the "distressed" drawer fronts at all! I'm sure you guys will make it look good with everything you design around it, but boy did it make me cringe to see the after when the before was so great...<br /><br />looking forward to a new post with a design that inspires me all over agian!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06576908393807688902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-79729074032111466872010-09-02T06:45:21.381-05:002010-09-02T06:45:21.381-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.L.Duncan@Home23DuncanBoyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17226427401291758923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-19448013448273777842010-09-02T06:45:12.527-05:002010-09-02T06:45:12.527-05:00This dresser turned out great guys!

Also are the drawer pulls seem crooked? That would drive me nuts! Plus, they kind of look 'off' with the whole dresser. <br /><br />I dunno. Please don't take that the wrong way. Honestly, this is the first time I've probably disagreed with your design decisions. So, I suppose this little criticism comes with a compliment!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01512668284025184490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-40585775247339739972010-09-01T23:28:26.258-05:002010-09-01T23:28:26.258-05:00great blog kevin! ya did good! i think that mirror...great blog kevin! ya did good! i think that mirror would look really lovely in a little half bath..do you have one?

It has a curved front and all but the drawer fronts were given a finish like that. It was what caught my eye. That and the long, oval mirror and harp!<br />I'll have to send you a photo some time!Laura Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04677448352815744178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-43597786035399530052010-09-01T20:56:30.137-05:002010-09-01T20:56:30.137-05:00I thought this post was good until I read the &quo...I thought this post was good until I read the "drawers" crack... then I found it hilarious.
