Love Me

I have pics :) I can't promise too many b/c its about wake up time for the little guy...but until then, I'm sitting on a box just for you!
We had visitors a few weeks ago:) Pixie and Kinley

Of course, I didn't take any good pics, but Valin really enjoyed them!!



And I have to show you a piece of our bedroom furniture! Okay, so here is the before picture (don't mind the nasty garage and missing drawer)

And here is the after...

Well it's not completely done yet (and ignore the frumpy bed, SO MUCH TO DO)
We still need to add handles, but buying 36 handles is no small expense! Some day! But back to the refinishing...OH MY WORD, I never could imagine how much work it was going to take. I will say, I am pleased with the outcome, but we worked our booty off for it.

Good thing I started the project before I knew how long it would take and what all it would entail....
I could recommend it for a piece of furniture, but not for a whole bedroom set!

I will put up pics of the room when I get it clean enough to take them :)
