My current project is this antique dresser. I balked on buying it last week at 'Habitat for Humanity' for 50$. But I came back this week and it was 30$. So I've adopted it. It was hating life and needing new shoes.New handles were 18$ from Lowes.com.
One 1x6 Aspen board, cut and glued and shaped into a new leg was 8$
And new foam rollers so the paint goes on nicely were 3$.
A little paint, some fixes to broken drawers, and a lot of sanding? Sweat equity.
So it's about 60 dollars for what WILL be a nice nice dresser, with wood features that you just don't find today. Not for under 500.
