See this cute little nook in Simon's room...
the Book Nook?...
Well... DAVE took this old dresser...
and turned it into THIS!
My amazing hubby got the "crafty" bug and did this 
Then he Mod Podged old maps on the two bottom shelves... 
He painted Mod Podge overtop of the maps to make a sealer on them.
One of the previous steps was that Dave Spray Painted
All done!
The two top drawrs were left in for Simon to use
Here's Daddy and Simon with the finished product.
Well... DAVE took this old dresser...
and turned it into THIS!
My amazing hubby got the "crafty" bug and did thisALL on his own
(even some of the blog pics)!
First, he took an old dresser
and sawed off one of the beams that made the drawer.
This created TWO bookshelves, instead of three small ones.
Next, he took the bottom of the drawers and cut them up into pieces...
and made them into shelves with a secure bottom.
Then he Mod Podged old maps on the two bottom shelves...this was totally HIS idea!
It matches Simon's room because one whole wall
is covered in maps!
He painted Mod Podge overtop of the maps to make a sealer on them.This will help the books not rip the maps as they
are put on and off the shelves.
One of the previous steps was that Dave Spray Paintedthe shelves to match Simon's room colors
in a dark red.
SO cute with maps!
All done!
The two top drawrs were left in for Simon to use
with little trinkets and what-nots...
you know how 4 year-olds collect things:)
Here's Daddy and Simon with the finished product.I am SO proud of the way it turned out!
GREAT job, Dave!!!
It was a fairly simple project
(about 2 hours max)...
and super cheap because this dresser was free!
Try this at home!!

I just LOVE Simon's sweet face in the last picture with Dave! Amazing Dave, you've got some talent!!!
What a transformation! I'm LOVING the red you used to paint it -- it's just darling now! Great job!!
That's a great way to repurpose and old dresser. I love that he used maps to cover the wood! He could have just painted them, but he took a creative approach! Love it.
Turner this dresser into a bookcase is clever and frugal too. Covering the shelves with maps was also a great touch. How nice that your husband values the joy of crafting too; yeah for you guys! Great job! Pam @ Sallygoodin
