I almost cried....by Juli

A few months ago I put the word out on the street that I was looking for some new dressers. A dear sweet friend said that her daughter had an old vintage dresser that was just sitting in her garage and that she was wanting to get rid of it. A little weary of what "vintage" meant I went to check out this dresser and unearthed a hidden treasure of sweet goodness. It was the shabby-ist of shabby cuteness that was begging to come home with me, perfect amount of drawers, real wood, and curved drawers. I was more ecstatic than I can even express right now {!!!!}. All until a few days ago when I found out it was given away to somebody else {tears are welling up}. I really really really almost cried {a little more welling}. I had been dreaming of this dresser {I kid not}, oh how I was going to spend warm spring afternoons sanding and painting and hugging and squeezing it. Anthropologie pulls had been held and admired. Will I paint you a pure white or a funky apple green or a steller silver? I am still depressed, can you tell? {wimper wimper} Goodbye my dear little 1940's vintage retro free friend. Your perfectness will make someone else happy as a wallow in my sorrow. 

Well the point to this overly dramatic story {I know, really silly things are like the end of the world to me} I got to researching how I could revamp my current Ikea {aka blah} dressers and I discovered this awesome website {Ikeahackers.net} Totally creative people post their customized ikea furniture to share. Here are some that i liked:
