I found out the hard way with my own Ikea piece that pine and other "soft" woods don't take stain well right after sanding. You have to put something on called wood conditioner if I remember correctly. That helps the wood absorb the stain more evenly. Just for future ref though, this piece is awesome.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279077041646062864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-75251525255190782032011-11-29T17:31:22.203-05:002011-11-29T17:31:22.203-05:00I think it looks gorgeous!

This resembles the style my cousins had (still have! in some rooms) when I was young and they were first setting up house keeping.<br />My cat would be in those drawers! She has figured out how to get all the closet doors in our house open. Most of them slide, so I think i'm going to put a little velcro spot on the edge to give them a bit more resistance to her prying paws.<br />I have dressers (1860-1920), but my favorite clothing (and fabric) storage is old kitchen cupboards. My sweaters are in one that has a glass door on the top half so I can see all of the colors, jeans and shorts hide in thebottom.debbie mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13500909471875374939noreply@blogger.com
