Always room for one more!

I LOVE furniture.

I have found that my therapy is to buy what I want, refurbish it, and usually I sell it. Well I guess I should should say, "Sometimes" I sell it.

This is my most recent $20 Dresser off of Craigie's, I had already done a little sanding...

 I had wanted to attach those metal label frames to each drawer to label contents of the drawers but couldn't find them. Improvise: chalkboard paint strips.

This Dresser sits in my entryway and now holds our blankets and board games. In the winter it will hold scarves and mittens.

 

I'll sell the next one, Promise.

Here in Ak sometimes we have to make our own sunshine. We just endured the longest, coldest, snowiest winter ever and I am ready for the sun! Enter Yellow. 

I bought this dresser last year on Craigies. This thing is a monster, heaviest tall boy I have ever had.

 I am a crafting insomniac. This is what 1 am looks like outside. One advantage to Ak living.

This is three coats in - pre distressing.  I did the same technique on this dresser with using three different colors of yellow to give it life once I distress back down through those shades.

This Piece has been sold, but I was so in love with that brightness in the house I will paint something yellow for me soon.

Gratitude

I know in our country this is a time of turmoil. But as of today I am free to worship my God, own my own business,  marry my true love, have more children, Vote, speak freely, watch The Bachelorette and so many other things that make my life mine. And today and every day I am 

Proud to be an American

Elias, Mila and I were out on the driveway in the sun the other day and Eli said,

 "mom, mom, MOM, Look mom, Hey mom, MOOOMMM!" 

I looked over and he was riding his bike without training wheels! The training wheels had fallen off. Aaron took him on his first candy run.
