Don't Forget Your Drawers!

A few months ago, Dale's parents mentioned a dresser that they would no longer be using that needed a new home- my face did this :)..Dale gave the "oh no" look..my face did this :( ..& we loaded that sucker up! At the time, I was looking for a long, skinny dresser-type piece of furniture to use on that empty wall in my dining room. But after we got our table in place, we realized our eyes were bigger than our room :)

Go figure.

Anyways..I decided that it would go on the wall in my bedroom that I was saving for a huge mirror like this and some sort of chair, maybe something like this. For some reason, FREE seems to sound SO much better right now. Crazy, I know! Like I said before, sometimes you just have to make-do until you can get what you really really really really want.

I really wish I would have taken a before picture, because even though this was my first complete re-do on a larger piece of furniture and it by no means turned out perfect, it still is a COMPLETE turn around from what we started with. When we started, the body of the dresser was painted bright blue- {understatement} with John Deere green and yellow drawers.

I read a post from Katie at Bower Power- and this great little table she gave new life to by painting a distressed chevy pattern on its top, and I just had do put the idea to good use :)

..well that was the plan anyway.

Here is what we have so far:

Not quite as subtle as Katie's, but we're workin' on it! Yes, I am aware that there are still no drawers- or legs- nor do the drawers have new hardware- YET! ...

but they will!

I blame the rain.

I also blame the rain for the dishes in my sink, unfolded laundry, unmade bed :)

Nighty night.
