This dresser, to me, is like one of those~ you love it or you hate it! (I personally LOVE it!!! <- and that's what matters! ;-P ) I had alotta fun doing this one, though. I left it the old white chippy paint that was on it, painted the top and stripes, did the Japanese Cherry Blossom design (which is one of my faves~you may see more of...), and replaced the knobs. Viola! It'll do for now... Hehehe...
