Sep. 5, 2007 - Trash to treasure

You all have heard that one person's trash is another person's treasure but in this case it was my own trash that became a treasure. 

It starts with a stack of 1968 encyclopedias that was taking up valuable space and an old dresser that wasn't too pretty.

My youngest daughter, Emily, needed a dresser for her vintage style bedroom and this dresser, while old, didn't quite fit. So, I decided to vintage it up for her.  I whipped out a razor blade and my trusty bottle of Mod Podge and set to work.

Several days later this is what I came up with.

A "vintagey" style dresser.  Emily was very happy with the results.

. . . Thank you . . . Thank you!!! I adore my "new" dresser. I didn't realize what I'd been missing by going 5 years without a dresser! It's so beautiful. I appreciate the time you spent on it--to the extreme. :) I love you so much Momma!!!!!!!

God Bless,
Your Lil' "Dahling" Daughter

That is too cute! I was captured by the pictures, and am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to go up to it and see all of the different pieces of 'things' on it.
If you are taking orders...:)
Love

Also...did Emily cry, or at least shed a few tears?
