Dresser Refresh

I purchased this Dresser at a garage sale- I'd tell you how much, but I purchased many items for one price.Even though the previous owner was using it as a tool chest, I could see it had great potential for my 11 year old who will be getting her own room in just 2 weeks.
After removing the hardware I sanded each drawer as well as the base. I thought I was going to replace the hardware so I filled all of the holes. Later, I decided to just paint the original hardware. This saved me a bunch of money.
I painted 3 coats of Behr's Polar Bear white and then distressed all of the edges. Here it is in My daughters soon to be grown up room.

Let me know what you think. Love, Kelly
