My husband is in the Air Force and we move quite a bit. I don't like to spend a lot of money on furniture since it gets damaged when we move, so I found this awesome dresser at The Salvation Army to use as our TV stand. Well, our previous apartment didn't have great lighting. We thought the dresser looked amazing and we were always happy with it.
Then we moved.
We saw the dresser for what it truly is and I decided that I just could not live another moment with that ugly thing stinking up my living room.
Before:

Step 1: Sanding

Tip: Try not to smoke and sand at the same time. It won't really hurt any thing, but you might drop your cigarette.
Here's a closeup of the door. There were some weird, hard spots that looked like paste. I had to sand those off and it didn't occur to me to take pictures
before sanding them off.

Step 2: ......
Step 3: FINISHED!


I hope you guys like this as much as I do.
