grandpa ben's ole dresser...

yesterday, laura and i undertook our first family restoration project. her grandmother's father (grandpa ben) left a good deal of furniture to laura's grandmother when he passed away & when laura went to harding she took a 4-drawer dresser of his. after we were married, this piece was moved to the lemmon's attic for keeping...until yesterday. leslie jerkins gave laura a picture of a bedside table that had been redone by using pieces of molding to cover the cabinet fronts back in the fall/winter, and yesterday we decided to use this same effect on ole grandpa ben's dresser. sadly, i do not have before pictures because i didn't think about it, but here are some pictures of the progress from yesterday. we have yet to put hardware on the front of the drawers and we want to add one more coat of paint before we are completely finished, but without further ado...
