Sneak Peak Living/Dinning Room

Thought I would show you a sneak peek of one thing in my living/dinning room today.

This is a dresser Hubby bought at an auction a while back, I wasn't quite sure why he bought it.  I thought we really had no need of a dresser, just goes to show I shouldn't doubt Hubby's buys!  After a bit I realized I was going to snag that dresser and use it in our living room.  I wanted something next to the front door that could be a mini "mud room".  You know, a place to drop the mail, kick off dirty shoes, drop your phone, purse, etc.  We don't have a mud room, wish we did some days!  So, here is the dresser before.

 Two coats of Kilz primer, and three coats of white paint later, and this is what I have now!

I left the knobs with the original finish, and I love the contrast with the white.  Remember that serving tray?  Yeah, showed that to you a couple weeks ago, it is working out wonderfully as a place to stick the mail Hubby brings home at night!  It is so nice to have it all in one place!!
So, my total cost?  $5. Yep, that's all.  Hubby picked up the dresser for $5 at an auction, gotta love it!!  The paint and primer were things I had on hand, so no cost there.  I hope you are having a great week!  It is almost over!!  Looking forward to this weekend, hopefully, if it doesn't rain too much, I'll have a couple things to show you next week!
