Our Baby's Dresser

When our friends Dom and Bekah moved to California, they gave us this antique dresser they couldn't sell before their move. Instead of buying a new changing table or dresser, we decided to refinish this one and put one of those pads on top so it doubles up as a changing table for baby Van. It's turning out to be a bigger project than we thought it would be, but I think it's going to turn out really good.

This picture is close to what it looked like to start off as (Luke had done a little scraping/ sanding at this point). Notice the legs on the bottom....too tall for a changing table. Two pictures below this you'll see the legs are gone:)

The top of the dresser was covered in this really wierd material and was peeling off, so we bought a new piece of board to replace it. We'll show you pictures once it's finished.

No more legs! Plus, Luke shaped up the design on the bottom a little bit.
A short video of what Luke's had to go through with the weird material that's covering this dresser:
