This ugly old dresser

Check out this ugly old dresser. Hmm it's just something else isn't it. I got this dresser from kijiji for $5.00. Not bad. It's solid, heavy wood, and is in great shape. But it sure is ugly isn't it.

I love this dresser so much, and yet I hate this dresser so much. I love it for the potential it has. Once painted in a glossy white, with new hardware and some modern legs, this dresser is going to be stunning with a ton of character. However, I hate it in the state that it's in, and the size that it is.

You see, I bought the dresser, thinking I had the perfect spot for it in our master bedroom. Our master bedroom is quite large and very long. The thought of it not fitting exactly where I wanted it to go didn't even cross my mind. Gulp. Decorating fail. I under estimated how long this thing is.

So it's sitting in my room, in the most awkward spot, waiting for me to paint it. As I stared at it I thought to myself "ok I have two options. Either I find a way to get rid of it and find something for just as cheap with the same amount of potential....or I could rearrange my entire bedroom. Which one do you think I chose?

My love for the dresser out weighed the hate. It's staying. And I have had fun coming up with new ideas for my room. Well, really, there was only one other way I could rearrange my room. We have a king size bed, that only fits in two spots in our room. One is where it is now, the other is against the longer wall of our room. That means the wall to wall curtains are going to have to come down, as well as my wooden art. I will have a huge empty wall above my bed that I am going to have to fill. I have already been dreaming up what I am going to do, and have been texting my dad (my supplier of old doors) about what I want.

But, this is all in the future. Because right now, I have no motivation to bust out a paint brush and paint the ugly dresser. Stay tuned...
