Fix and keep or Fix and sell?

I found this antique dresser the other day on Craigslist and $30.00 later Ken went to go pick it up on his lunch break (he is just amazingly supportive of my decorating habits). So my first thought was of course to fix it up and sell, you know the drill... fix it and turn it around for a profit so I can go out and buy more of other peoples crap to put in our house (hahaha). Anyways the more I was working on it the more I am falling in love with it. Now I know what you are thinking "she so does not need another dresser in the house" but after some thought I am thinking of turning it into a jewelry holder, a giant jewelry dresser. Have Ken line the drawers with velvet or something and a quick trip (just an excuse) to Anthropology for some new knobs and wallah, I have a new item in my house.
