Empty Spare Bedroom

We have a spare bedroom. When Brad's mom moved out we cleared out her back room and moved the bed to the front room. Call it what you will, but I needed to move things around. We started putting everything together. Which I blogged about here. And then swore I would talk more about here.
Have you noticed I tend to lie not fulfill my promises here?
It happens.

Well, then Kacie moved in and I left the mostly finished room alone. Now she's gone.
That's right! She moved out three weeks ago. We had a cute little housewarming party this weekend, so everything is official!

So I finished the one thing that was left in the room. The dresser.

A while back I was leaving Brad's moms house and noticed that her neighbor was having a yard sale. And from my car I saw a cute dresser. Exactly what I was looking for to go in the spare room. Since I was leaving I called Brad (who was still at his moms house) and made him go over and check it out. He called me back in a few minutes and said that he had bought it.
For $10!
Can you say awesome?

I had looked at several other dressers but they all cost so much more and since I wasn't looking for function more than just 'something tall' to take up the space, I was hesitant to spend too much. Glad I waited, because this was perfect! I love the lines of it, but the handles and color were not cool.

Last week I finally got around to painting it. We picked up some oil rubbed bronze handles with crystal accents from Lowes (and a single crystal knob for the top from Hobby Lobby-they have a GREAT selection of unique knobs.) We ended up paying more for the knobs than the dresser.

Finally having a finished (and empty spare room): I think you know.
