TURNING SOMETHING I HATE...


Into something I LOVE!
A dresser bought from some friends (hi Carissa!) last year, 2 large pieces of MDF that Dale reluctantly drug from Idaho to Cleveland and Cleveland to Texas- per my STRONG request, a can of free paint that came as a result of a Home Depot employee poorly attaching the lid of paint spilling all over Dale, a $7 dollar piece of fabric, and some "out of the box" drawer pulls for $.5o each (and the mother of all run on sentences) and Voila! It still needs a few paint touch ups, and the girls "personal (however, not too personal) touch". I have an old T.V stand in the garage that is now begging to be re purposed. Ahhh... welcome back creativity and motivation. I missed you.

That is really cool! You do some amazing things, you are so creative! I loved catching up on your blog. It's been a while since I've checked on blogs so I'm glad I hit yours first. :) We miss you guys and hope you are doing great in TX. You have some seriously talented kids, I just love the dance and gymnastics pics. Love, Stephanie

Great idea for the drawer pulls. Industrial, but not totally "it looks like it was pulled out of a dumpster and left as is" repurposed.

Sooo cute! Huge improvement. I remember that dresser in Jack's room:) It looks a lot better now!

Haha... I hated that thing too. Why do you think I sold it to you!? It looks amazing now! It's awesome what some paint and creativity can do to something as awful as that dresser was. And "hi" to you too!
