Here you can see what JOE was looking at. This is what the dresser looked like for the BEFORE pictures.
Joe wanted to charge us $1800 to refinish this piece - $1800!!!
Needless to say, we found someone else to finish the dresser for us.
I must say - that it turned out beautifully!! Who'da thunk the beauty and the detail in the wood that was UNDER that paint!
All this beautiful restoration work was completed for LESS then $300!! A FAR cry from the $1800 that Joe was going to charge!!

It looks great. Who knew? Joe?
Holy crap, it looks amazing!
It is so pretty now!!!!!!
That's gorgeous! Is that Joe the Plumber?
Who the heck painted over that beauty.
It looks lovely.
Wow - I do remember Joe and I'm glad your gut was right about not trusting him. Sounds like you got a great deal and look at the end result! Beautiful!

Gorgeous! Better then Joe's I am sure.
Keep smili!
That's such a great piece! Can I be next in line if you guys decide to get rid of it?
Joe the Restorer, what a character.
Heh...Joe. Now that was a couple of hours you'll never get back.
Glad you were able to get the dresser taken care of much more reasonably. Looks great!
Joe bites!
That is BEAUTIFUL work!
Wow, what an AMAZING transformation! Good thing you didn't go with Joe!
Happy Halloween to you too. I've been thinking about your dresser all week and wondering about a certain piece in my bedroom...
Holy crap! That turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! Joe turns out some spectacular work.
gorgeous cubby to hide your knickers.
well worth restoring. NEVER try that at home kids, those fumes are toxic.. $300 is well worth giving someone else lung cancer.
p.s my word verification is 'dike'
I thought this blog was family rated.
