Vintage Dressers in Action

I love spotting furniture pieces in unexpected surroundings - while dressers usually live in bedrooms of course,  their proportions and wonderful storage make them perfectly at home in living rooms and entries too. They make particularly great bars and are so ideal for hiding all the gloves, hats, shoes, purses and keys that always collect in entry ways!

I have an especially soft spot for the patina and history of vintage dressers, so I wanted to share my current favorite 5 from Etsy. I love how they have been lovingly restored - plus there are some serious deals to be had here!

Which is your fav? I am crazy for that chic black and white Drexel piece!
