Some Dresser Inspiration

I’ve been debating whether I want to go with a light gray or Heirloom White {with a glaze on whichever one} on my rescued dresser.  I already have both paints, so I wouldn’t have to search for and buy a color.  I’m kind of leaning toward the Heirloom White only because it will fit in better in my house.  I do like the look of the gray though ~ so your guess is as good as mine as to what I will finally wind up doing!

I decided to look for some inspiration pictures of dressers that utilize baskets, since I will be going that route for the two drawers that are missing.  This is what I came across.

This one doesn’t have baskets, but the missing drawer space is being used as a shelf.

If you have done a similar project or recall where you might have seen one, I’d love to know and add it to my inspiration pics. 

For now, before I paint it any color, I am going to take it apart, add some plywood to the missing drawer areas, sand and prime it.   Hopefully, I will be able to get started on it this weekend {especially since it is supposed to rain here all weekend}.
