One of the very few bunnies left when our daughter (now 32) outgrew her bedroom full of bunnies!
Now he (she?) is on our mantle waiting for Easter.
Look what the Easter Bunny brought in out of the rain today?!
After it dries off, my husband will begin to repair it. It probably will be painted.
the more I'm getting into painted furniture!
The pulls on this dresser were worth getting wet for!
There is an eagle in the center of each with 3 stars above it.
Great storage here. I can't wait to see the finished product.
Oh....this is a beautiful piece. I actually like the color of the wood and would leave it as is. At the very least, you MUST leave the original drawer pulls. If you don't, I will have to come and hurt you!
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, middle child. The pulls will be kept/reused. I don't think it's all wood. That's the main reason we'd paint it.
ReplyDeleteYour suggestions and observation IS definitely welcomed!
Rebecca, you find such interesting pieces. You must have a keen eye to see the potential.
ReplyDeleteBarb, my husband actually found THIS one and carted it home in the trunk of his car.
ReplyDeleteWhat potential you have in the piece!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece for a re-do!
ReplyDeleteOh wow very nice can't wait to see that painted I love painted furniture has that country look I love....such a cute bunny...and to answer your question am I afraid of snakes YEAH lol!! of course but I would not hesitate to kill one if it threatens my kids... although I was lucky my husband was home and took care of that one. And unfortunately yes they can get in your house. I have heard of this happening to my neighbors. You just have to be careful out here we have all sorts of nasty critters :O!! I hope your having a nice week ~Love your friend Heather
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the finished project. Your husband did a good job rescuing it!
ReplyDeleteWell, my gosh, Rebecca. Your husband should get an extra chocolate Easter bunny for that find. It looks like a lovely dresser---strong and sturdy. Are all the drawers entact? Wowsers. What color are you going to do it? Susan
ReplyDeleteSusan, The drawers ARE intact. He may have to replace a bottom or two that are warped 'cause of rain.
ReplyDeleteColor? YTBD (Yet to be determined.) I'm really interested in getting my hands on "chalk paint" that I'm seeing used around blogland. Not sure if it has hit our local stores yet though.
Great rescue. A person can't have enough storage and I think it will be great painted. Haven't heard of "chalk paint". I'll be watching for pics of the finished dresser.

I need to find out where you live so I can drive around and find all these fabulous things. LOL You do such a good job fixing/painting/displaying them. I, too, haunt thirft stores and look forward to summer flea markets (altho I am TRYING to declutter). I will be back again to visit.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I think your bunnies are just really cute and to know they are old and have a history in your family is fun!
ReplyDeleteSecond, the dresser is great, the drawer pulls amazing and I, too, can't wait to see the finished product! I peice that you have a creative hand in always is special!
Happy Easter, Rebecca!!
OMG, so cute!!!! I'm amazed with your skills to find always beautiful pieces.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, my dear friend!!!!

These things always bring back fond memories of my dad, who always had his eye out for great curb finds. Can't wait to see what you and Gary do with it!
