Shoulda Bought It: Salvation Army Dresser

Why, oh why, did I pass up on this dresser? Oh wait, I know why, because I was being supremely cheap and wanted to wait 2 more days so that I could save an extra 5 dollars. Silly me. Now I have to hope I can make it back to the Salvation Army and that it's still there. While this dresser isn't exactly what I was looking for (hoping for one twice as long) this is still too good of an item to pass up. I know I can find a home for this in my home. It's marked at $50 and was 20% off when I saw it (so $40) but I wanted to wait for it to go down to $35. Yes, I know I'm insanely cheap. If I were willing to wait until April 5th (& were it still there) it would be marked down even further to 50% off.

I checked the piece out and it seems to be all solid wood except for the top which has a veneer. This is okay because I want to sand it down, stain it a darker color and paint the top white (a la John & Sherry over at Young House Love).

So, cross your fingers that it's still there! And that my dad will drive it to my apartment in his SUV.
