Thank You: Dresser for the Nursery

 
I mentioned in this post that we needed a dresser for our baby girl's room.  Only a few days after I wrote this post, I was placed on bed rest by the doctor.  Getting the baby's room together just got a whole lot harder.
 
Our good friend Kallie read the post and realized she and our other friend Kristie could do something to help.  Kristie ended up with a dresser she had listed on Craigslist and been unable to sell:
Sorry so small! When I enlarged it was way distorted
She and Kristie volunteered to paint it and put new hardware on for us and then bring it to our house in Topeka.  Seriously?
 
Kristie sent me this picture last week:
 
 
And they delivered the finished product to us on Saturday:
 

Isn't this amazing?  It's exactly what we wanted in terms of storage, but this has so much character!  Kristie asked me what kind of hardware I wanted and I told her to do whatever - SOOOOO glad I did!  Aren't those pulls amazing?  They were original to the dresser and she removed them and painted each one.  Such creativity!  She is so stinking talented - check out her Etsy shop.  I can't wait to start using it in the baby's room, and it will be a piece of furniture she can use for years and years!
 
So a HUGE thank you to Kristie and Kallie!  You guys are the best!  This took a huge load off of us and gets us one step closer to having that nursery ready!
