On to the next project

I found this old dresser sans mirror in my mother's garage a long time ago.  (And by garage I mean more like old barn exploration conditions.)  She can't remember where it comes from, but thinks she is the one who painted it yellow. I don't ever remember it being in the house. I striped off the yellow paint and was hoping to stain the wood, but I got discouraged when I found termite damage on the legs and put it back in the garage.

I've since had a spark of creativity roaming Pinterest, so I'm resurrecting it for a second life as a television stand.  I've filled the termite damage with wood filler and bought new veneer for the top.  Wish me luck on applying that once I get the rest of the old veneer off.

I'm thinking antiqued silver for an old Hollywood look.  I've ordered these awesome clear glass knobs.  It needed casters, too, since what was left of the casters was rusted and gross.

We will see how it goes.
