CL project dresser

I'm hoping to go see this today. The price is good, and I can use it in my guest room. If I get it, not sure what I should do to it.

The GR is a sort of transition room right now. I am not sure if I want to go British Colonial or Shabby Chic. Walls are a deep golden yellow, trim is raspberry. I have vintage furnishings, the bed is painted olive green and I have olive green drapes with greenish tint woven blinds. Bedding can either be a raspberry/pink/green velvet patchwork quilt or a white matlesse throw.

So, paint or stain? I'd change out the hardware, but need some good ideas on this one. Thanks!

Looks like it has good bones and is a great price. You could always paint it olive green to match the bed and then add some pink hardware.

The link says the ad was deleted by the author/owner, did you get it? Post pics :)

And IF you have a hobby lobby near by be sure to check there for your pulls (or order online) they have GREAT repo glass pulls and glass and other vintage style knobs for a very good price, and look for 1/2 off sales and stock up (like I do).

I JUST missed it. Dang it. It was really cute and would have been perfect for my GR. I don't have a HL nearby, but I do have some sources for glass knobs and great vintage fixtures. One nice thing about my town is that there are a lot of salvage places. And I always pick up hardware at GS or thrift shops when I find it. Never know when I'll use it!

So, I'm on the hunt again now for a chest of drawers. I'm REALLY hoping to find a lingerie chest like the one you scored RJ. I want something like that to use for jewelry.
