Bought this dresser this week for £120 from a secondhand furniture shop, they had 3 I'm guessing they came out of a cafe or somewhere as there were a few hooks in them. In comparison new Welsh dressers are around £500-700 and the other second hand shops I went to were charging £300-450.

I know its not like the below but the plan is to sand the top and bottom bits and leave wood and repaint the rest and add some doors to the bottom half and add a wooden ledge above the drawers.

Maybe not to everyones tastes but I kept seeing them on Pinterest.

I'll update once its finished.

Got one simelar but with glad doors at the top. Could have painted it a bit better but it'll do till I get it chemically stripped and do a proper job. Did you use chalk paint?

Finished -





Went back to the furniture shop and the other 2 identical to how this was are at the back of the store now priced at £195. I paid £120 and mine was the only one not damaged. There was a woman buying one when I got mine, must have changed her mind.
