Another Dresser!

Saturday afternoon, after all the quilting girls left, the ‘hunt’ was on for another dresser, as well as to unload another van full of ‘stuff’ TO Goodwill, from de-cluttering…(GOSH, that feels good to ‘let go’!)

I wanted an exact duplicate of the dresser I got last week, but I knew that was not possible, so I looked for something else that would work. I lucked out again! I found another vintage dresser, that was built well, but that needed some ‘love’.                                         Another great price….$44.95.                                                The wood was scratched, and it definitely needed some help, but I was up to the challenge. (Notice the nasty scratches along the bottom of the dresser.)                                                           Here is one of the drawer fronts, as it was when we got it home.                                        Here is my bottle of ‘magic’. (Shoe polish works VERY WELL too, if you don’t have Old English!)                                                                    After.               

The old sewing machine cabinet that was there in my last post is now at Goodwill, (we took it there today) and the dresser is filled with sewing machine accessories and sewing supplies, foot controls and manuals, and bags of ‘Works in Progress’ quilts. The bottom drawer is still empty!

I’m not getting a lot of sewing done, but de-cluttering is feeling wonderful.  I’m not done yet, but I have made a HUGE dent, and I love it! It feels great, and is restoring my ‘soul’.

Be blessed,
