BEFORE AND AFTER DRESSER

'Morning everyone :)

I bought this dresser to use as a bathroom vanity -

John says - It looks kind of big for that space
Suzan says - It'll fit - don't worry
John says - Do you have the measurements?
Suzan says - I don't NEED the measurements - I can tell just by looking at it
Suzan says - In fact - it's not long enough - but we can work with it
John says - Why don't we go measure the space and come back?
Suzan says - BECAUSE I KNOW IT'LL FIT - WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TRUST ME???
Suzan says - It'll be perfect - the plumbing can fit behind those doors - and we have all those
drawers for storage...............

It's too big - it doesn't fit - I don't know why he lets me do these things LMHO

John says - furious - What are you going to do now - make a niche in the bathroom too?

No John - I'll just give it a makeover and sell it -
Along with the 2 end tables and headboard it came with - which were included in the price.

I used ASCP Coco and Old White  ( only because I didn't have any Paris Grey on hand LOL )

I sprainted ( my word for spray paint - feel free to use it lol ) the knobs because they were in pretty rough shape

There was a lot of precise detailing on this piece - and then I added to that by deciding to follow the pattern on to the drawer tops - because it's kind of nice when you open the drawers and see it- just a little extra something - something, right?

 and then I went back to my old habit - of numbering the inside drawers ( haven't done the last one yet
 forgot which number came after 2 )  but I mimicked the back plates of the handles to frame the
 numbers in.

and if you're wondering why I haven't shown the whole dresser yet - it's because I keep running up and down the stairs trying to get a decent one - God it's so hard being a sucky photographer -
depressing actually - because I look at the piece and it's quite beautiful and I take a photo and it looks blah!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway - this is as good as it gets - I think it would be great in a dining room actually!

Next up - the headboard

I know they look kind of pristine in these photos - but these pieces were badly damaged -
We bought them at the ReStore - where they had apparently been sitting forever - no one wanted them.

Hoping someone wants them now :)

Have a great day everyone

Ramblings of a crazed blogger.................

Thank God Mrs. Hughes bit the bullet - because that story line was becoming hard to swallow.

Seriously ridiculous. Not the rape - but the handling of it all - it was enough to ( almost ) make me stop watching.
I mean, c'mon Anna,
Who is that noble?

That's why I would have not fit in that era - I would have been like
" THAT BASTARD VALET RAPED ME - WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT???????
or I would have blogged about it and exposed the creep lol

So how does the next cliff hanger end?

Bates kills the valet?
Edith gets dumped?  ( and pregnant ? )

Here's hoping it doesn't involve Bates again - because to be honest with you I was sick of the whole prison thing as well :)

I would have just let him quit personally.

And please write Thomas out of the story already - it's the same old - same old - every. single. season.

Ok - on another note :

I found these 2 mirrors at Target - what do you think?

Except I could have sworn I bought 2 matching ones - and I didn't like the one below as much as the one above.

so..........they've sat there for probably a month now -

DON'T SAY IT - JUST DON'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can think it - by all means - BUT DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD

Because seriously?
This drove me nuts -

All those posts I do on what a genius I am ( a thought I still believe to be true )

And it took me a month to figure out I just had to turn the frame around ?

I think Einstein had moments like this too though :) I heard that at a Genius Only Conference I once attended................

Just when you think your blonde moments are a thing of the past - up pops something like this.......

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Hugs,
