Furniture for a Cause

Sold!

Thank you for those who participated, and keep an eye out for more to come.
I will miss this one!





Update: Somebody reminded me to put the dresser's dimensions up!

72'' long
18'' wide
30'' tall






I have to say I am pretty proud of this. I have had this Basset dresser in the garage for a while, contemplating what I was going to do with it. It is a solid, large piece. This ain't no Ikea made dresser. (A little of my Texan roots coming out for you).

At the garage sale last weekend I had a few people asking to buy it, but it wasn't quite finished yet. I had plans for this gem...

I promise these pictures do not do justice!

I love all of the intricate wood detailing on the front and thought it might be fun to make that part stand out a bit more. What better way to do that than paint it a fun Tiffany Blue color?!

So, I started painting.

And painting....

And painting....

This sucker took a lot of paint!

Then I distressed it and I LOVE IT. I adore it. It is even prettier in person.

My original plan was to use it in the TV room and mount the flat screen above it. I think it would work great in a kids room, or dining room too. I dig the pop of color.

Although I am quite fond of this dresser I have decided to offer it up to a silent auction. The auction will take place Until Monday April 26th at 5pm. The highest bidder will take home this beauty. Starting bid: $135

Of course, all proceeds will benefit my upcoming adoption!

To place a bid email me at kerrikuykendall@hotmail.com

Happy Bidding!!
