everytime i start a post i think, man i need to do better...i can not honestly say how long its been since i've posted...i didn't even want to look at the last date because i'm embarrassed...
i guess i just get so caught up in everything else that i have going on..sometimes things can be overwhelming...i have a lot on my plate so to speak...it has really taken a toll on me in the past 2 weeks...i often have the feeling of giving up...saying goodbye to the furniture resto business...i know i wouldn't be happy though...so i just go a few days without doing anything...
i picked up this dresser from a friend of mine that was selling on facebook....i got a very good deal on it because she was almost to the point of giving it away i think...just needed the room...the best part is that it was 2 pieces...i still have the mirror but haven't decided if i'm painting it...i was in such a hurry to get the bottom part done that i just put the mirror aside...
my kids have a way with me...they are always wanting me to paint something for them...i feel bad and give in...this for for the 11 year old...the one that didn't have enough room for her clothes...the one that promised to keep her room clean if i painted it for her...shall i post some pics? i mean pics of the dirty room...no, i won't because that will only double embarrass me....

| here is the before...if you are wondering why it looks so crazy its because i took it standing up on the end...i couldn't get a good before...i started working on it with it standing up like this... |

| after! i love how it turned out...its amazing what paint can do to a piece...this was actually real wood...when i bought it, i was in such a hurry that i didn't even look at it...my son and his friend loaded it up and it sat in storage for a few months...i painted it with homemade chalk paint...its just basic white that has been distressed...the top is gloss black...the handles are also gloss black...of course my daughter is in love with it... |
