Mike, I need your help...

Erin, Erin!  Go get Mike and make him look at my blog!

Never mind...I'll send him a message on Facebook.

I bought this super-cool dresser on craigslist this week at a yard sale price:


Isn't it beautiful!!!  I am so in love with it you'd think it was my sixth child.  Seriously, Will has heard me gush over this dresser every night since I bought it.  Usually, we spend our pillow-talk time discussing the children and our days--not so since this lady moved into our garage.  We've been all "dresser-talk"...well, I've been talking--he's been listening.

I have been hunting for a dresser with this shape for five years (I do have a life...that is why it took me five years).  It is wicked old and I want it to function like an actual dresser.  So I am going to need to fix a couple of drawers and replace the bottom pieces of each drawer.  I also want to paint the exterior -is that a criminal confession since it is wood?

Anyway, my brother, Mike, (do I need all those commas?) has a little wood working hobby.  He has made some beautiful stuff and I think he could be the voice of wisdom I need to start this project.  I don't want to ruin it.

Help me Mike!

PS: I am going to be working on this dresser this weekend...NOT cleaning out the garage...despite how cluttered that space is...I'll also be ignoring all my other children.
