If you are a furniture painter, or just a thrifter in general, you know that a quality PAIR is really hard to come by! When I saw these two Drexel dressers, I knew I had to have them!

White/Wood/Black Farmhouse style entry table
This piece felt farmhouse-ey to me, especially with all of the curved details and spindle legs!
