Haley says, “I will admit that I made some mistakes along the way. I accidentally sanded down one of my favorite details- the chevron patterned wood that ran along the bottom and middle of the dresser, boo.”

Every project has a little trial and error, but especailly for a first-effort, we think you did a beautiful job, Haley. Congratulations.

Here’s how the material costs came out:

Sandpaper- $5.50
Wood Glue- $7.50
Wood Stain- Already had
Pulls- $50.00
Total- $63.00
Total time spent- somewhere around 30+ hours

Thank you Haley!
