weekend happenings

Well we went dresser hunting on Saturday morning for a piece we could transform an old one to look like "us".....for those of you just now joining me, we are slowly redoing our room. I took three "know your style" quizzes online and they came back as, Scandinavian antique, country classic, and vintage modern (go here to learn more about these quizzes or take them yourself!)

So here is the dresser we found at a thrift store ($75)

It had 2 or 3 coats of paint on it, So we dunked that sucker (painted heavy) in paint stripper, waited 15 minutes and shaved it off

We then sanded it down with a hand sander, and while we worked on this Eli played with luggage that I forgot to drop off at goodwill (WHY do we buy our kids toys again!?!)

And....Cole thought it would be sweet to give Gage a handful of dirt to play with....It only seems fair! (I took a picture Quickly before I ran into the house and completely washed his mouth out)

Oh well we are almost done, you will have to come back to see the big dresser reveal! That's my way of hooking you, HA! (that was an evil laugh).

On another note,
I created a mood pallet to show you my ideas about our room

I hope everyone has a great Monday!!
