A different kind of post today

Once upon a time, I wanted to start a blog where I would show my crafty and cheap home decor items. I think it lasted one whole month before I just got too busy. And I never returned to it. You can see it here:


Fast forward 18 months and the bug bit me again. So I started perusing Craigslist. I found this solid wood dresser on Craigslist for $50. Kind of pricey, but I liked the design and really needed the drawers to help organize my home. So I grabbed it up!

BEFORE:


AFTER:

After a few coats of white paint and some primer it is transformed. I spray painted the handles a nice blue. I know it's kind of different looking, but I need to put blue in my house any way I can get since dh won't let me paint any walls blue. ;-)



I am super happy with it and it's so much nicer than what has been in the foyer for years.
(This boring Ikea sofa table.)
Our dog has a balloon in his mouth, by the way. And the girls were chasing him. Fun times.


Thanks for stopping by!

I will have a new card on here this weekend. I missed stamping!!!

  3. How fun! I admire anyone who can find old junk and turn it into something cool. I'll bet those drawers will come in very handy, too.
