In this case though it's those high-standing dressers, usually with 5 drawers, that are in abundance on Kijiji: my go-to store.
The great thing about tallboys is that more often than not, they are available for free.
You read it right... FOR FREE!
Garage sales, the free section on Kijiji, your Great-Aunt that has one stored in the basement somewhere.... FREE!
Sure, they're probably pieces of cr@p, but it's cr@p with potential!
Proof; I obtained each one of these before and afters FOR FREE...
This one was a doozy... I had to strip off 7 layers of paint!
No charge for the lead poisoning - thank you very much!
This one I painted to look like a craftsman toolbox... complete with aluminum handles.
Pretty cute for a boy's room eh?
A lot of work, but I think the "afters" show it's well worth it!
Shelly, you are unbelievable! I especially like the last 2, and the toolbox is just fun! Mark would put it in his garage and use it as a toolbox!
ReplyDeleteHey Shelly,
ReplyDeletelooks awesome, great job.. :)
Fantastic job Shelly! In the past I have refinished lots of desks, etc...I'm sure they didn't look this great.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone! Your kind words are greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Alex, I did use it as a toolbox and everyone that came by thought it was a giant craftsman! lol
