upcycling a dresser

On the way home from visiting family Saturday night, I saw a dresser on the curb a couple blocks from home.  I didn't get a good look at it since it was dark.  My brother saw it too and told me about it today.  We went and checked it out.  It was U G L Y!  off white (was white at one time it seems but faded or dirty or smoky), green on the inside of the design and an overspray of gold.  It was missing a track.  My brother checked it over pretty good and structurally it is sound.  There is nothing major wrong with it. $1.39 for a small bottle of paint, 39 cents for a tiny paint brush, some paint we already had here, some wood (for the track), nails and screws we already had and 3 hours of my afternoon, we have a like new dresser for K.
