Rebecca - Chester Drawer Refurbishing

I picked up a free chester drawer from a coworker, Rebecca, that my parents and I will refurbish.

The end goal will be to sell it for a profit via my mom's company, Jackie and Jewels.

Note: I will include the cost of items purchased for this project, but not the cost of tools and materials we already own or aquired during previous projects.

Step by Step

  1. 1 Acquiring The Chester Drawer

    The first step was to pick up the chester drawer from my coworker's house. She had been trying to sell it for $60 in its original condition but had no buyers.

    One day, we were talking and I explained what my parents and I have been doing in our free time. She mentioned that she had this chester drawer that no one was buying, and if we pick it up, we could have it for free.

    So, my dad and I, after going to our local gun range, swung by to pick it up.

    Cost of chester drawer: $0

  2. 2 Second Step Title

    For the beginning of this project, I first looked up some other refurbishings on the internet to get an idea for how I wanted to refurbish my new, old, chester drawer.

    So, I put "chester drawer refurbishing" into my search engine, went to images, then browsed for ideas until something stood out to me. Since I am fairly new to this, I wanted to mimic the design of someone else (as they say mimicry is a form of flattery so do not blame me).

    After viewing a few refurbishings, I settled on the idea of painting the our parts of the chester drawer but stain the wooden drawers. This would give it a mix of a modern and a classic style.
