a dresser transformed...

I don't have a ton of counter space in my kitchen.  So I've been looking for inspiration to give me a little more counter space and also somewhere to put my kitchen aid.  So naturally i turn to the Internet and the beloved pinterest (thank you Lord for pinterest).

I found quickly that the answer to my issue was in a kitchen cart of some sort.  I found an idea using an old dresser and got to work.

I found an old dresser that was needed some fixing up and a good sanding (I almost like it with the distressed look, but it wasn't apart of the plan).

 

 

So I fixed the drawer, sanded, primed, painted, put on caster wheels, put 3+ coats of poly on the top, added some accessories and VOILA!

 

 

I lined the drawers in a fun wall paper just for kicks.

 

I was so excited about how it turned out.  I actually gained so much more storage space and it looks really cute. 
So far everyone who has seen it has commented on it.  The polyurethane on the top was the smartest decision.  If you try it yourself, don't skip that.  It will last so much longer and make sure it dries completely.
Feel free to comment with any tips or ideas!
