Hey friends, let's wrap up this series (well...at least for now) of matching bedroom furniture with my favorite piece--the dresser!
In this video, I'll show you how I built this simple 6 drawer dresser, tying in some of the trim details from the matching bed.
Halfway through building, I kind of started to wish I had built this a big bigger as an 8 or 9 drawer dresser. Then I kind of thought about doing a matching chest of drawers. So...while this is the last of the set FOR NOW, I'm not ruling out revisiting this to share a couple more versions...eventually. Stay tuned ;)
For now, I hope you enjoy building a dresser with me--after all, they are my favorite projects!
