A $5 Dresser and an Eco Natural Soaps Giveaway!



My son is in college and renting a house for the first time. We are visiting soon and he asked for a dresser. He said he didn't need anything big. I know that spending a lot of money on a dresser in a college guy's house might be foolish...

So I went out garage saling yesterday and found this little dresser (maybe bedside table?) at a sale. It's solid wood and sturdy and the price was right---$5. I figured that if he didn't want it, we could always use it somewhere.





I sanded it down. 




I put a coat of primer on it.  



I used Semi-Gloss Black paint by Rust-Oleum applied with a foam roller.  It went on very smoothly.



I decided to only paint the outside.  I promise, my son will not care one bit!




I added some knobs that I already had.  I think it was $5 well spent. And the best part--I texted him the pictures and he said it looked perfect!  :)



Now on to the giveaway...
The people from Eco Natural Soap are giving away several items to one lucky winner.

  1. Seeing your dresser gives me ideas of a solid wood filing cabinet my husband insists on using as a night stand. If I won I'd choose the eczema relief balm for my daughter. Thanks
