When Debbie @ Debbiedoo’s issued a copycat call
for her Copycat Link Party,
this seemed like a good time to show you a copycat project I did last year.
This was only the 4th post I wrote for my blog, so I may have only had
2 followers at the time who may have seen it, so this seems like a good time
to show it to you again.
I picked this dresser and the matching bed up at an auction for $1…
yes ONE DOLLAR for BOTH. They had the ugliest paint job in the world
and there were NO bidders. When I realized no one bid, I offered a dollar
after the bidding ended and I came home with them.
See…really bad.
They sat in my shed for awhile when I noticed that my dresser was
quite similar in style to Miss Mustard Seed’s dresser.
I was on a “plaster sheet music all over everything” kick at the time,
so I thought I’d just keep plastering and copy her dresser.
Not only did I copy her dresser, I decided to style it similar
to the way she had it styled in her photo.
If you want to see my original post and some more of the
details of the finished dresser, it is HERE –
feel free to leave me a comment…that poor post is hurting for comments! :0)
Well…how do you think I did?
{if you’re wondering why I have a scrap of fabric hanging out
of the bottom drawer, it’s because I couldn’t find one of the
drawer handles when it was time to put them back on!
I found it later and reattached it!}
Unfortunately, I don’t have a space in my house for this dresser
right now, so it’s sitting in my office, being used to hold, what else…?
SHEET MUSIC! I have a huge stash of sheet music and
antique book pages, so I keep them in the drawers.
Someday, I hope to use this in the house, but that’s a few
remodeling projects away from now!
Be sure and visit Debbiedoo’s and see all the great copycats out there!
Blessings,
Angie
Due to unethical websites stealing content, I can no longer provide a full RSS feed. I work too hard to produce original and inspiring content to have it stolen by others. Thank you for your understanding – I appreciate each one of you that take time out of your day to visit Knick of Time!!
Nice copy, Angie!
It’s gorgeous!
I collected a lot of sheet music when our church was doing a clean out, so far I have only used it on little projects, but I hop to do something like this one day, when I find the right piece!
wow.. talk about a fabulous copy.. LOVE IT.. applause applause on a copy well done.
Great copy Angie! I want to copy you 🙂
Fabulous!!! I just picked up a dresser for an awesome deal, but not nearly as awesome as yours!!! Way to go!!! Copying is so much fun!!! Have a blessed day… your newest follower!

Great copy. They are both so beautiful.
Love it!!! I posted that same photo from MMS on my blog as an inspiration photo for a bedroom redo quite a while ago. I still like that piece and you did an amazing job on yours!!
What a great copy cat project. You did an absolutely fabulous job. I saw you over at Debbie’s party. I would love for you to come and link this up tonight at my party.
You really did an amazing job–which I noted in my comment On the Original Post, being the dutiful little follower that I am!:P I can’t believe that the dresser was *part* of a $1.00 purchase. I was excited that ToysRUs had the 24-count crayons on sale, 4/$1.00, this week, thinking that was quite the steal!

You did a great job on that poor dresser no one wanted, it looks beautiful!
I’d love to try this one day, yours is fantastic and I can’t believe you got it for a $1.00.
This is fantastic! Great job! I thought this looked like Miss Mustard Seed.
