As promised, I am going to post our dresser refinishing project (totally inspired by Young House Love) complete with a play by play by yours truly. Excited, yet?
Here is our Craigslist "before" pic. $50 and it was ours. You remember this beauty:
After sanding the veneer and painting the top, we had this lovely piece (the lighting and gorgeous accent lamp from college doesn't help). Neither does the dry wall that's just hanging out in the background. But we were getting somewhere.
Next up was the staining process which started early Saturday morning in our "work room", the back porch in 95 degree weather.
Hey! There's Matt! I know it doesn't look like it, but I swear he has pants on.
Hey! There's my belly and me staining away. Cute angle of the baby bump, huh? Actually, I've included this pic because of the prominent dog tounge featured in the background. Boone makes yet another cameo. Who knows where Java was - probably off with Duck Baby (who is alive and well).
The finished product! I skipped the rest of the process because I don't want to lose what little readership I have. Behold my new mod dresser! It's even better than I hoped it would turn out. Matt added some legs to give it a lighter look and to match the crib, but he forgot I am only 5'3" and it's a little too short. So, we'll have to take it down a couple of inches.

Things are starting to come together!
