Brain Freeze

Bad case of it - I have been looking at this dresser for a few days now - and I have no idea what to do with it 
blank blank blank - then I come up with 10 ideas - and then I torture myself on which of the ideas to go with - and then it happens again - brain freeze.  Far too much thought going into this one - it has no character - a straight square boring box and I should by now be seeing so much potential to create character - that is what
I claim I do - turn something shitty into something, well not so shitty - and sometimes even amazing.
To make matters somewhat worse I have 2 identical ones - and I need to get them out of here - hopefully
I can move my ass this weekend and turn these beasts into beauties.

I always boast that furniture speaks to me - and it always has until I found these 2 - their lips are sealed - in fact they are silently smirking - and they are thoroughly pissing me off, lol

I want both of them done and listed by Sunday evening - will post whatever I manage to do -
( I would not hold my breath if I were you )

Maybe I need this?

The dressers I tried to buy yesterday were sold to someone else ( it came down to who could pick up quickest - I lost )
Anyways now tonight I saw this on Craigs list -

It comes with 3 additional leaves - and I just love the curves - my fingers are crossed so tightly this time that I have pains shooting up my arms lol.
It comes with this


which is also gorgeous except I do not have room for it - look at the size of that baby!

So now will have to wait and see if they are willing to sell separately - guess I will have to sell mine,
which I really do love - but it does not have extensions - and 10 is a tight fit - I'm guessing this one
would sit 12 comfortably.

I hope this does not turn into a blog of things I'd like to have - and then find out they are sold.

Need some before and after shots for the new year!!!

I am painting 2 small dressers that have been in the basement for too long now - which will
be for sell, will post the before sometime tomorrow - thinking stripes again perhaps.
