Before and after dresser

I know this doesn't look so terrible in it's wood state - but it really was in rough condition -

Here she is now

Painted it with ASCP old white - and paris gray - and I am still on the fence about distressing this one, so have left it as is for now -

I did distress this old mirror that came with another dresser - it's just sitting on the dresser.

The dresser had to be primed - because stains kept coming through the paint ( after 2 coats ) and
I spray painted the knobs and back plates...................
What do you think - should I distress the hell out of it?  Or leave it as is?  This one is staying - the
drawer space is great and I even have one empty one ( but 2 storage boxes under the bed of
clothes so I suppose I shouldn't be bragging about one empty drawer, lol )

I am also torn about whether I should just paint it all white to be honest with you - this one definitely
did not speak to me as loudly as they usually do - for the most part as soon as I look at a dresser it
screams out at me ( I have to tell it to keep it's voice down ) what it wants me to do - but this one
kind of whispered - " do whatever you want, I don't care " so I did - and am second guessing myself
daily on it.

John just came home with another dresser - you'll have to excuse the angle  -  this is how it was posted for sale so just turn your head around lol because I am too lazy to take a picture of it right now

 Anyways he tells me I sent him to the gates of hell - slumville so bad that he was nervous driving around
 the area - at one point there was a group of kids sitting outside a corner store and he thought they were
 planning to jump him - lol.  I'm laughing but I would have drove straight out of there because I am afraid of
 my own shadow - I am so nervous that I prefer not to go with him because I don't like going into strangers
 houses - I always wonder if these are phony adds meant to lure the innocents in and rape and kill them.
 I've even had that thought when people are coming here to buy a piece - do you think maybe I watch those
 crime shows a little too much?
 It is not easy being me - but I'm stuck with myself ( so is John unfortunately lol )

 Happy Sunday all
