Lingerie chest makeover
This is a tiny little dresser – about 18″ wide and only about 12″ deep. I guess it would be called a lingerie dresser or lingerie chest? A “disaster dresser” to begin with. Look at the destroyed top! Missing knobs, chipped drawers – and what you can’t see inside, is that the drawer bottoms are […]
