I inherited this dresser when my Grandmother passed. I remember that my Grandfather had used it when I was a child. Grandpa kept freshly ironed handkerchiefs in the top drawer, along with his wallet and loose pocket items. Grandpa had an aviary in the finished basement of their home. He kept finches, love birds, and parakeets. His favorite bird was a yellow canary that sang beautifully. It was in a cage in the hallway. I got in trouble once for letting the canary out while trying to pet him.

I love projects like this- GREAT JOB!!!
The dresser came out great. I lov e that there's a story behind it and within it.
Your writing was very touching. I have my grandparents first bedroom suite - it is very similar to yours. I have been debating for years whether to paint or not. It has teething marks on the vanity from three generations! Your dresser is beautiful! Came over from Whimsy Wednesday.

Sweet!
I love it. We have my In-laws bedroom furniture and I treasure it. Oh and by the way, we'll be over soon with our waterguns. I think the chickens may need a bath. :)
i love it donna! and i think the "imperfections" make it that much more special!
