Projects

So I really didn't like this dresser.  I just didn't like the how it looked with everything else in our room.  I decided that I had whined about it long enough and it was high time to paint it or to just live with it.  I decided to paint.  I am sure you can guess what color.... black!  Hello, it is me we are talking about here!

So my grand idea started with this....



then this.....

and not long after.. this....

I started paining the dresser.  I am too much of a wuss to move it out to the deck to paint so I had to just put the drop cloth down and paint in my room.  I don't think Jord was too happy to try to pack to go to Fort Defiance while the room was in disarray but once I decide on something I have to do it right then!

I had wanted to cover the pillows on the bench for a while now.  Anyone with dogs knows that nothing is sacred to them so I wanted something that I could take off the pillows and wash when the pups got them dirty.  This is the first pillow case I finished.  I was pretty proud!  I still am!

Here it is all finished and the room is all put back together.  I like the dresser a LOT more now.

I think the bench turned out cute too.  I couldn't get Lily out of the picture.  I guess she thinks she is pretty cute and needs a little attention.

I think the lamps turned out better than I thought they would.   I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

I am very pleased now that it is all finished.  Jord thinks all I have done is the dresser so I am wondering how long it will take him to notice the bench and the lamps.

I should say thanks to everyone for the million calls.  I think Kami got the brunt of it.  She ended up getting a picture sent to her about every hour just to get her opinion on how I should do things.  Amanda told me how to do the lamps and again, I LOVE how they turned out.  Mom, thanks for all your help too.
