Old Ochre Dresser Makeover
I bought this dresser along with four other pieces of furniture a few weeks ago. These long dressers are getting harder to find because they have multiple uses. I’ve seen them repurposed as media consoles, entry focal points and even as a bathroom sink. I love the curved lines and the ... Read More about Old Ochre Dresser Makeover
