Jaye needed a new dresser in her room. The cheap organizer from Target that we had been using as her changing table and dresser just wasn't cutting it anymore. So I decided to upgrade to an awesome orange Chalkboard Dresser. I bought this dresser from a local thrift shop. It's a sturdy piece, but I wasn't loving the paint job or the knobs.

Inspiration Edition: Dining Rooms and Disco Globes
October 13, 2010 by
(from Apartment Therapy)I love the combo of the old wood table with the modern colored chairs. I also think the disco balls are awesome. They'd bring a lot of light and fun and funky to the room.
