It seems like lately, I have been super busy.  Well finally, I am able to show you what I’ve been SOOOOOOOO busy doing!

It has taken me almost a year to finish my maternal grandmother’s dresser, but well worth it.  My mom even asked for it back.

This is the before and after pictures of the dresser.  My mom did not like the stain of the dresser probably in the 1970s to 1980s and decided to do a faux finish using gold paint.

My husband & I bought some night stands on craiglists.  The previous owner said they were “Art Deco,” which they are.  Somewhere along the line, the two nightstands use to be an art deco dresser with probably a round mirror attached.  However, someone decided to be creative and split the dresser to make two nightstands and used wood putty to fill in the holes.  It probably wouldn’t be what I would have done, but the damage was already done.  So I decided to strip it half way and sand the rest, then repaint.

Let me know what you think!
