Yesterday I laid out my plans for my master bedroom. I wanted to show you my color scheme for the room, but I'm still on the fence about that one!! However, I know exactly what I want as far as storage (dresser). I needed something that has plenty drawers and something that had a vintage flair to it. With that in mind, I enlisted one of my close friends Craig to help me in my search. I set a budget of $100 for a dresser.
What I wanted out of the dresser was for it to be
1. a quality piece
2. a vintage piece
3. the size needed to fit in the the space
4. at least 6-9 drawers
If you remember my inspiration photos, then you probably remember Michelle's yellow dresser

Like I said before, I plan to pull out elements from each of my inspiration bedrooms (Rate my Space style)to add to my own. So while checking out craigslist I found this:
Perfect!
I love the lines and the detail of the dresser, but like Michelle's dresser it will be painted (I do like how it look now). I know that I said $100 was my budget for a dresser and this one was $75, but I really should have offered them $60 for it. I'm not a good haggler so next time I'll make sure I have someone with me that is (alright Dayka?!).
Here are a few more pictures of the piece
(please ignore my pink cell phone!)
BTW, Check out Dayka's first mood board that she put together for my bedroom. Great job Dayka!

I love Craig!
The legs of the dresser are similar to the slipper chair legs! Hey, I used to have a pink cell phone, before it went through the wash that is!!
Great find, what color are you going to paint it?!

Great Deal! That's a steal. But I do think you should paint it! I love your inspiration photo. It's a graceful piece of furniture!
Great dresser!! I can't wait to see what color you plan on painting it, I also like the handles...they would look good black
Good find. I keeping hoping I will find one for our bedroom. I agree the lines on the dresser are great. Tons of drawer space too. U scored good girl!
nice piece..good luck with it.
That is a nice piece. (much nicer than new, cheaper-made furniture). I have a similar dresser that my sister used in college 20 years ago that has been my dresser for 10 years. I painted it shiny black (black laquer look) and had a piece of glass cut for the top so that it wouldn't get scratched from all my JUNK I lay on top. I hung a big mirror over it (the dresser comes to my hips).
I know you are in the ATl area - I really like looking through A Classy Flea in Marietta (behind the big chicken-under the interstate). If I ever get a vacation home, I will go there to buy solid pieces of used furniture. (which means I am just dreaming -but that store has some great things).
Jackpot! That is a great find. Love the legs. What color?
Looks like you hit the "LOTTO" again! Okay will you paint it blue? IT is nice Really nice. I also lurve Michelle's yellow Sleek and Clean...
BTW Craig and I broke up a while back. I went to get a piece from a couple that was moving and they were not home. I left and they promised they would return in a few hours. After speaking with them I showed up only to find out that some1 else was getting MY piece and learned from the son that they paid $5 bucks more for it! WTH! Anywhoo.....
That dresser has terrific lines, you did very well. I can't wait to see what you do with it. Also, I saw Dayka's mood board and I agree with you. Nice!
