Nautical Dresser: Complete!

7/8/2015

Yesterday I posted about rehabbing a dresser I found (brand new) for very cheap.  I'm not sure if it's a true rehab because the piece was new, but I changed the look to match my son's future big boy bedroom.  The dresser itself was $150 (in the store it would be $500 + delivery charges). I bought it from a neighbor who purchased it from the store 6 months ago. See the post HERE.

I swapped the white knobs out for some brushed metal.  This metal matches the metal accents on his bed and side table.  They were a bit loose, so I used the construction adhesive to secure them to the drawers.

I bought 4 feet of 3/4 inch rope from the Home Depot.  I used construction adhesive to attach it to the dresser.  I used fishing line to hold it in place over night until it was fully dried.  After 24 hours I cut the fishing strong off.
Below is my finished product.  Nothing majorly different, but I feel like it is a much better fit for my son's future bedroom and it's nautical theme.  The dresser was $150.  The six knobs, rope, and construction adhesive came to $38 at home Depot.  What do you think?

Before, just in case you didn't see my post from the other day.
