Craft day

My sisters and I had a craft day this last weekend. We have one of these every now and again, and it's always the best time. We spend hours painting, mod-podging, framing, laughing and eating of course. This last one was actually tough and wiped us out though. I decided last minute to finally refinish our ugly laminate dresser that gives me grief. This has been a project in the making for two years now- so I finally got my wits about me, pulled out the drawers, moved it all to the kitchen and began painting. With amazing help, the dresser was transformed into one of my favorite pieces of furniture in our house. I do believe that love gets etched into the projects you complete, with each paint stroke or thumbprint pressed into the fabric. I will always think of this as me and brins dresser.

Sadly, I can't find a before picture! I looked everywhere. Apparently it was that ugly-- I always avoided having it in photos. It was similar to this, however. In fact, I think this is the exact dresser. All that ugly little thing needed was some good paint, new drawer pulls and mod podged paper on top! (cost: less than 20 bucks)

Moral of the story? Stop waiting to make things better in your life and do it now. You will be happier.
