Dressing the dresser

Jake has been working hard in the hot, humid 95° weather ALL day.  He is trying to get the dresser ready for Man-Cub's nursery:)  He found this thing at an Antique Store for way cheap.   But even with the savings,  I had to ask him if the dresser+stripper+steel wool+stain+the manual labor was worth it?

He seems to think it is.

More power to ya, buddy.

Here are some photos of the transformation.  

There is still a ways to go:

More stripping...

Drawers stripped with one coat of stain.

Another stripped and stained drawer.

This stuff is AMAZING.

A whole passel of drawers.

Uhmmm...drawers.

The top of the dresser is stained...

Lookin good!

I am going to be painting the knobs red shortly.  It is going to be so cute!  I can't wait to see it all put together.  

We have yet to make the shelves for my little bookcase, but they will be stained the same color.

We are also painting a little end table the same color red as the knobs.

Even though I only took photographs today, I feel like we accomplished something for the nursery!
