Solid pressed wood. Very heavy and sturdy...but not.cute.
My first instinct was to white wash and put jute on the original pulls. But that failed.
Second go around, I used a gray wash and bought pulls from Target. The pulls didn't match up with the holes and I'm too lazy to drill new holes for a $9 dresser.
I searched for 2 3/4" pulls and found the perfect bin pulls at Designer Knobs and Pulls. Very reasonably priced too and quick shipping!
How's this for a lack of staging!
So the moral of this story, is this: if you don't like your piece the first time, just put more stuff on it. Eventually you will love, or at least like enough to sell, the finished product. Moral #2 is, the hardware can make or break a piece!
I'm averaging about 1 blog post per month...hoping to triple that average if the snow ever melts here in MN! Thanks for sticking with me!

Allison somehow you managed to transform a rather mod looking dresser into something so farmhouse and vintage looking. I love it and you're right about the hardware, it's perfect.
I love the new pulls, they are perfect for the transformation! And I hear you about the blogging...last month I only had one...but I hope to get my act together soon. Good luck in getting back at it!

Wow. For $9, what a steal. Great job.
Looks great! For $9 you did a great job.
Nice work! Looks great with the paint job and your choice of hardware.
I love the straight, clean lines on this dresser! And the pulls just take it to a whole new level!
I love the simplicity - looks very beachy!
Awesome job, the dresser looks amazing!!!
