Be sure to visit Thrifty Nifty Tuesday hosted by Coastal Charm.
About a year ago I found this dresser/ hutch on Ebay for a ridiculous p
rice of $35.00. The main reason I bought it was there was no shipping as it was a local pick up. My sweet son took me in his pickup to haul it home. When we got it home, we unloaded it in the garage. I took out all the drawers to inspect it. Low and behold I found an old polaroid camera and a pretty little gold necklace(makes the deal even sweeter). But that's not all I found. Out came the biggest roaches I have ever seen! Armed with my can of bug spray. I sprayed all the inside heavily and let is set for a while. It ended up sitting in my garage for about 1 year.
Recently I dragged it into my family room to prime and paint it. It had been raining for several days and I wanted it out of the humidy. After 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of white paint it came out rather pretty. I now have it in my guest room. Check it out! Thank you for visiting today!

Lucky girl! I always hope to find a bargain treasure for local pick up. You did a great job! Welcome to blog land!!
Super cool find!! I L-O-ve it!
Good luck on your new blog!!
That looks incredible! My favorite part is that old-looking quilt on top. Wait, my favorite part is the dishes. Very nice and very inspiring!
Oh, they are so gorgeous. And you've decorated it so beautifully. I love it. I'll bet when the roaches came running, it scared the heebee jeebies out of you. It would have me. Why can't they be on the endangered list?
Charming pieces, Debbie! You turned them into beautiful! Love the pretty accessories!
Worth the hassle of the yucky bugs! ;)
Love the pint color on your guest room walls!
Cheers!
