DIY-ish dresser

So in keeping with my nursery them, I wanted to find an older dresser that would look like it could be in the stateroom of an old ship. I found a dresser on craigslist for $20, but it had some issues. Most of the drawers were falling apart and the wood seemed to be stained in some areas. So I got to work cleaning it first using a mixture of lemon scented pine-sol and vegetable oil in a spray bottle. My plan originally was to paint the dresser, but after seeing the wood all cleaned up I liked the natural tone, and I feel like it's more authentic for some reason. Anyhow, I used finishing nails and wood glue to get the drawers back together and spray painted the handles black. Ta-da! Dresser all done. I know this project wasn't that involved, so it's my DIY-ish project for the week.
