ALMOST DONE!

BOB'S HOME!!
Today - Wednesday September 23rd- we finished most of the painting of the furniture - the only thing not finished is the Hope Chest. But that is going to be done differently - it's going to be painted some sort of green.

It's been a very busy day - I've been putting the hardware on the dressers, cleaning the drawers and measuring them for the drawer liners, then putting the clothes back in them (nice & neatly).

Since I've been in the cleaning mode, I decided to put the kitchen cabinets in order also. I've been a clean freak - organizing the plates, cups, glasses, bowls, all the china, and glassware. I don't know what's gotten a hold of me - but when Bob got home - he said that he's going to go out of town alot more! (not because I changed the furniture to black - but because I cleaned the cabinets!)

Here are the Before and After pictures:






Doing this kind of work sure is messy!! You get really dirty!!!!!

I like to paint the sides of the dresser drawers to give them that "finished" look!



On these 2 nightstands, we used the same hardware - we just painted it black -
now that's economical!!

  2. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new look. I want to redo my bedroom pine furniture too -- a dark brown. I am inspired. Will you help me do it over the school break? January?
