Thrifted dresser with missing drawers, add shelves, wall paper inside. Very cute!
First of all, let me point out that this pin commits that cardinal sin of Not Linking To The Right Blog Post. The URL is for the main blog itself, which means if you're hoping to find the entry for this project, you must figure out how to search that blog (or you could just go page by page forever). Please. PLEASE! When you're out on the web and you see something cool to pin, make sure you click to the exact entry you're looking at, not a landing page or even a page from a search. Those will be frustrating pins for those who come after you.
Aside from that faux pas, what else is wrong with this pin? Pretty much everything. I tracked down the correct post, and found that this is not a thrifted dresser; it was a hutch. There was no need to add shelves because they were original to the piece. I mean, who has a dresser or chest of drawers that tall anyway? Or a dresser with that kind of molding around the top?
Also, that's fabric, not wallpaper.
Not that finding an old dresser and giving it a similar makeover with shelves and wallpaper (and crown molding, base molding, etc) might not work, but that's not what this picture is showing. If you're looking to replicate this pin, best to start with a hutch; it'll be a lot less work.
