I still have an old dresser from when my HUSBAND was a child! We used it for our kids too, then I had to choose: junk it or refurbish. I chose to paint it high gloss black with white drawer fronts and black drawer pulls. My kids liked it so well that it is still in service. I find those really old out of date pieces of furniture are a great place to try out new skills.
