The $5 Gift Thread!

okie dokie...

i salvaged a dresser, took all the front panels off the drawers.

stripped old cheapy paint
sanded off dark stain
painted fresh light paint
applied decals from dollar tree

"Every day is a gift" " Always kiss me goodnight " "Welcome....." "Be your own kind of Beautiful" ...etc

Some i plugged the holes for knobs, others i painted the wood knobs all cute. one panel i used blackboard paint.

the paint was left over from other projects.

one dollar for each decal.

The dresser will have shelves for wicker baskets. yes i buy them at yard sales and thrift stores. On the bottom I'm adding little wood louver doors that i found at the restore. I did a funky paint job on them. the bottom will be the hidden nap condo for my cats.

Not sure how i will finish dresser. Got dozens of ideas!!!

anyhoo, as i remember little ideas i will post.

Almost forgot! if you mak sure the area on the back where the panel is cut, allowing the bottom of the drawer slides in remains on the top, you will have a premade hanger that is level.

Fabulous thread idea!!! thanks!
