Hi Friends!
How’s your week going? We had a rocky start to summer vacation. The kids and I didn’t blend well at the beginning of school vacation. I’m busier than ever and they are wanting to be busy doing fun things, more than I can pull off every day. So it was a week of learning, praying, readjusting. Our new plan is for me to work in the morning, but make up for it with fun in the afternoon. They have chores, play time, reading time, music time while I work and then we can all do something fun together after lunch. I started this new plan on Tuesday and by Thursday it was working great! I’m so thankful for that! I’m sure there will still be hard days, but I’m happy to have a plan. The only other thing I don’t have down… getting back to people’s phone calls. I can email and catch up that way every day but calls… those seem impossible with kids with me every second. If you have any good tips for that, please let me know in the comments below.
I can’t wait to share this week’s furniture makeover. When I saw this dresser, I loved how ugly it was because I knew how pretty I could make it. It had the right lines and the high end quality I wanted. Here’s the before:
We painted the box Simply White by Benjamin More, added hardware (which it so badly needed), attached chrome legs, and made the herringbone pattern on the doors the focal point by staining it with a gray stain; which I LOVE! If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.
Ready for the after?
What a transformation!! Am I right?? This beauty is up on our For Sale page, but my gut says it won’t last long so snatch it up if you love it friends. The crates are included in the sale. If this isn’t quite what you’re looking for, we have more. Check out some of the many new pieces on our For Sale page now:
