A Great Find

I really wanted a changing table, but I didn't want to spend the money and I wanted it to have drawers. I did a lot of garage sale and craigslist shopping and finally found this little gem. Not bad for 10 bucks?

It needed lots of sanding.

Primer and more sanding. Then, painting. (Papa put some elbow grease into it too.)


And.........

Here you have it!
Don't you love it? I sure do. Can't wait to change a little newborn bum on here :)

I should mention that I won't get to use this for Madisyn. We are officially potty training right now. It's been two days and that is a whole other post to come.

Here's the before and after. Oh and the white handles came on it originally. Didn't even have to buy those. I'd say our repurposing project was a success.

There's one more project I can't wait to post about. Unfortunately the before pictures are still on David's phone. It's all coming soon though.

Pretty much all of our furniture was purchased on craigslist or a garage sale. Watch for a post with all the great things we got.

Me Time

Madi nap time = Me time!

Sometimes I spend "me time" taking a shower (pathetic I know), blogging, editing pictures, reading (still loving Jesus the Christ), cleaning, or napping. I'm sure there's something else I'm missing. Anyways, yesterday I decided to do some repurposing with some jewelry I'm not too fond of anymore. There were quite a few necklaces and earrings I just don't wear. I just took the beads off and made a few pieces that I will actually wear! I'm lovin how these first few have turned out.
