Dressers are one of the hardest working pieces of furniture that you can own. Plus, they come in a million different styles, are easy to paint and can be found super inexpensively second-hand. If you wanted to, you could work a dresser into every room of your house…

I bought this dresser for $18 at a yard sale five years ago. I just painted it white.

I found this dresser at a thrift store for $60ish

It was perfectly distressed. I put all different knobs on it and it’s both a surface and storage in the barn.

Here’s the same dresser in the guest room of our last house.

I found this dresser at a thrift store for around $80. I painted it blue and used it in my office in our last house…

And this piece isn’t a dresser, it’s the bottom of my hutch sitting on our back porch/laundry room. But the point is, it COULD be a dresser. A dresser would work really well here.

Yard sale season is starting and if you are out and see an inexpensive dresser but you don’t know right that second where in the world you would put it, but you have lots of empty walls in your house–my advice is to buy that dresser and figure out where you’ll put it later.

How many dressers do you have?
