Here's a not so complete picture of the dresser. Of course, I cannot seem to find another now.
I had been trolling Craigslist and several used furniture and thrift stores for quite some time. I did not want a new piece because all of the other furniture pieces in the room is (except the chair and mattress) are older used pieces. I think a new piece might have stood out a little strangely, and I honestly did not want to spend the money on a quality piece of new furniture.
So, a few weeks ago I heard that one of my favorite used furniture haunts was going out of business (or relocating supposedly), and they were auctioning off all of their remaining stock. I trolled through their online catalogue and came across a dresser that was a similar wood tone and style to our existing pieces. Of course, I exceeded my original limit of $200 because after thinking about it and staring at the 2 pictures for a week, I just could not stop thinking that this was the right piece. I never saw it in person before the auction ended, so it was a leap of faith but so far these types of leaps of faith have worked out just fine for me! I knew it was made by Kincaid so it was not going to be a piece of junk, and no damage was visible in the pictures. In the end I paid a little over $300 including the auction premium, but I think it was really worth it.
Still needs some minor work but here it is -
The old dresser will likely end up in Alex's big boy room. This means that I probably have all of the furniture for his room except a mattress!
