So. Those dressers that look like they have been through hell and 4 completely random coats of paint, and someone sometimes tried to scrape a coat or two off but got tired.
I am going to attempt to create a surface like that to paint on.
The older and more used looking the better.
Does anyone have any tips on where to purchase old dressers (at a decent price considering i will rip them apart and use only the top and or sides) or how to achieve this look?
I would be absolutely grateful if you could help me with this at all.
Thank you very much.

I'd start with craigslist and your local paper.

antique stores, used furn places, flea markets and garage sales

you could always try a DIY approach using milk paint. lots of 'how to' info available out there.

Milk paint is probably key. I will investigate. I just needed a lead. Thank you Blaw.
