  5. Very pretty dresser and I'm not surprised that it wasn't around for long. That burgundy box looks great with all the white....I can think of a million ways to use that for the holidays. Someone will appreciate your buff and buff and buff.😉

  6. Beautiful dresser Donna ... and I waiting see you say you had tagged and sold it almost before you got it in your space. Love the burgundy color and have to look for that Howard's Citrus Shield. I love their products.
    Have a great Sunday.

  8. The dresser is fabulous! When I was in the biz, I loved those pieces that I didn't have to touch... went straight from the Suburban to my booths! Rarely happened though, lol! ~Rhonda

  15. What a nice break for you, instead of "transform" you only had to "transport." :)

  16. I love your dresser. We bought a couple of older ones and I'm still debating on how to paint them. Neither match in style, but the one with the legs has so much option and I love the gray and brass on your dresser. Very pretty.
