Meant for each other - The tale of the dresser and the mirror

When I was searching for Alexis' dresser, I somehow ended up with two dressers. (This was early in my craigslist addiction days, before I had it under control -- haha, like I have it under control now ?!?!)  So, this dresser sat in the basement for months before I got motivated enough to tackle it. Now that it's finished, I must say, it is absolutely beautiful!

Like so many of my projects, I forgot to take a good "before" picture, so here it is in pieces.

 

As you can see, it has great curves, dovetail drawers, pretty details and ornate french provincial style handles. As you may also notice, I did this entire project in the basement hallway!

Since this was an 'extra' dresser, I had no planned place for it, but once it was finished I had to give it a home. She ended up in the dining room as a buffet. 

Then.... I found this gold mirror at an estate sale and I new they were meant to be together. 

I painted the mirror and it was a match made in heaven.

She's still in my dining room, but I can't wait to find her a home where the dresser and mirror can live happily ever after :-)
