I thought I might show you my vintage dresser.
I just love when someone has made such a beautiful piece of furniture out of old wood
The wood could have come from old packing cases or floorboards
I don't really know who made it or out of what, but I still love it
We found it in an old second hand shop many years ago,and just had to have it
We paid $225 for it in 1996.
We parted with some furniture we had bought new,so that we could fit it in. The other new/old dresser was made of chip board with mahogany.veneer
.
When we bought it in the 70's we loved it to bits because everything matched, the lounge suit,dining suit, coffee tables and dresser.
How our taste has changed, All the old/new stuff has gone,and we hunt for treasures like our dresser

I LOVE older pieces. I have been purchasing & painting many pieces other just look at me cross eyed for purchasing. BUT when i'm done sanding, priming and painting... they are beautiful once again. I still love the look of wood on some truly vintage pieces. Nothing new is made like the old stuff, i'm with you on this. I love how your hutch seems to have been made for your nook. Fits perfectly.
GIVEAWAY... come put your name in.

It fits beautifully and it is really lovely! Neat idea for the wine rack!!
I love that dresser--though it seems more like a hutch to me. I love items like this where you can store all your pretty things. It does fit perfectly!
The dresser looks great. Made to fit in that spot too.
What a wonderful piece of furniture! I can see it would hold so many things! It does look like it was made to fit in that spot! :)

To me most vintage furniture has more style and built better. You have done a nice job on this. Gave it a new lease on life.
I love classics like this! It's perfect where you have it. I far prefer old pieces to new too!
I love the dresser. Love how it fits perfectly in that spot. Very pretty glassware, too.
