FIXING SPLIT WOOD PANEL - white dresser with india knobs

I felt compelled to save this dresser
when I came across it at a yard sale.
The lady who owned it had bought it
to refinish and was told the split side
panel was an easy fix. Once she got it
home she realized this was NOT A
SIMPLE FIX.

The two panels had to be leveled and lined up, glue

 applied, and clamped together.

Inside I used a couple of broken metal hinges to stabilize the

 fix. The hinges are not the solution to holding the

 panels together, but they will hold everything in place while

 the glue sets.

Once everything was fixed she got painted in a creamy white
 ASCP, and new India bone knobs added. I found the six of 
them at my local HomeSense. The plates you see behind the
 knobs are antique metal pieces also painted in the same
 creamy white ASCP then wet distressed.

Everything was lightly edged distressed and the three 

drawers were lined with a floral black and white wallpaper.
