she's crafty (?)

The dresser/changing table in Miles' room is the same one Jarrod and his sister used way back when. When Jarrod's parents offered it to us, they gave us (me) permission to do whatever we wanted to with it. I knew I wanted to paint it, and with a color scheme of Enamelware by Martha Stewart and pure white I couldn't get too carried away with the color of the dresser. I did some research and decided to paint it white and give it an antique glaze finish (I picked Valspar translucent color glaze in mocha). The hardware is from Anthropologie. Here's photographic evidence that I have a couple of crafty bones in my body - but don't get too excited, I'm not quitting my day job :)


nursery

This summer we flipped our sunroom/office into a nursery. It took quite a while to accomplish everything we initially set out to do, but we're very happy with the results. We replaced the windows, installed new carpet, primed/painted the walls and trim, hung new window hardware and treatments, installed a door, and then of course put together all the pieces of furniture to go inside it. Guess all that hard work - and long nights spent painting after work - paid off (at least to us, ha)! Here's our labor of love...
