Dresser Pick Me up

   A very good friend of mine contacted me about 2 dressers she had.  She wanted them to be redone for her daughter Emma.  These dressers came from a family member and they wanted to reuse them in Emma’s new room.  This family was about to embark on a new venture, their oldest was moving off to college.  I remember when my oldest left for college.

Months before he was born the planning of his nursery started with a picture my daughter and son-in-law owned. It was rather large and the room was rather small. The picture was of the New York streets with taxi cabs.    The plan was to start with...
