Luckily my parents decided at the last minute to come for Thanksgiving. And of course my mom couldn't wait to get to work on the dresser. It took a lot of elbow grease and a lot of trial and ERROR (which required more elbow grease), but eventually we found a combination of two stains that produced a finish similar to the coffee table we already owned. Here's the final product. Sorry it's not a great picture.
It truly is beautiful. And I figure the total cost was under $50, since my mom offered so much free labor. Thanks, Mom!Much to Jared's chagrin, about a month ago I found this little beauty sitting on the side of the road. I went to their front door and found that they were just giving it away. It's fairly poor quality, but with a paint job it will serve as a buffet in my kitchen. But unfortunately my mom is on a mission so I'm not sure when it will get painted. :P
(No, the other drawer is not missing. It's just hidden behind the dresser. Who know why.)
