reunited

I inherited a dresser from my grandparents years ago.  I'm told it was part of their very first bedroom set when they married.   I had it in two of my apartments I shared with friends but it never made the move back down to the city with me and has been living in my parent's basement since.  Our guest room did have a desk in it but we brought that desk down to the basement for my husband's office area.  A perfect spot for the dresser was cleared and my parents were able to cram it in their cars and bring it down!

It is a little beat up and scratched here and there but in my opinion it looks loved.  The pulls were tarnished and dirty though.


Here is a close up of one.


I removed them all and got some brass cleaner from the grocery store.  They all got a nice scrub down and here they are.

It removed the crud but they still have an antique look that I like.  Back on they went.


I'm so happy to be reunited with this dresser.
