I love the whales, too, but lately I've been kind of wishing I'd hung on to the original hardware, too, in case I ever want to put it back on and just to remember what it was like (it's possible it's still floating around somewhere really--who knows?)Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081092234118387690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666263925017036906.post-62696712672505579782013-06-11T16:45:08.523-04:002013-06-11T16:45:08.523-04:00Gretchen, this looks amazing!

I was thinking about doing that, but ended up playing it safe instead on mine (this is Kristen BTW from http://thrifterindisguise.blogspot.com/2013/06/vintage-chifferobe-for-toy-storage.html). <br /><br />That hardware is to-die-for! I think it's so cool that this has been in your family for so long.

I imagine around the same time. Yours looks AWESOME - good work. And congrats on the baby.

We bought unfinished furniture (a chest of drawers) to hold their clothes. We lived on a tight budget!
