Dressers in rooms other than the bedroom

I've been on the hunt for a dresser for the nursery for a few months now, and although I haven't found "the" piece, I've been enjoying searching Craigslist and other online search engines for a good quality used dresser. But in my hunt, I was reminded me that I have a love the idea of dressers in spaces other than bedrooms.

I've almost bought a number of dressers with the intention of possibly being in our living room, but I'm reminded of actually how small our room is, and how big most dressers are. House # 2, will most certainly have a big bow front chest in the living room or foyer. :)

Here is a roundup of some pictures to show you my obsession...
