I love my new dresser

Well first of all I need to begin this post by giving a huge THANK YOU to Aunt Molly and Uncle Bill. Back when I was pregnant I started to look for a dresser that I could redo in an antique white type finish. I thought it would make the perfect changing table, and I have always been a huge fan of that look. Even after the miscarriage I had become so fond of the idea that I searched craigs list every day looking for the PERFECT dresser. When Aunt Molly and Uncle Bill were moving, she called me and asked me if I would like one of their old dressers. She described it to me, and it sounded perfect. I had no idea how perfect until I saw it. With family coming in town for Thanksgiving, I decided that I wanted to start and finish this project before everyone got here. Now I have to say that it is not perfect. I am sure that you can find many flaws in my painting and antiquing, but I LOVE it. I love it b/c it is mine. I love it b/c I put a lot of hard work into it, and achieved something I NEVER thought I could do. I have never thought of myself as being "crafty" or "handy" (when you have a brother and sister like Grant and Sarah who can install walls, crown molding, and create tables out of thin air all in like 2 days...it's not that hard to not feel to crafty/handy... They truly are the two most TALENTED people ever with that stuff!!!) In fact I can't wait for Sarah to look at this b/c I know she will be proud :) So thats it...I am so excited about it...I DID IT!!!!

This is the dresser before

Here is the after!!! I am still working on the hardware for the bottom

two drawers...so that is what those holes are for, the handles.

So now you need to come over and see it in person :)
