It's been a very interesting start of the school year this year! The first few weeks, we had weather that reminded me of mid October. And this past week we were blessed with weather reminiscent to late summer! I took full advantage and finished my lil guy's nursery.
Yes, Charlie is almost a year old, and I just finished the nursery.
My feelings are, you never know what your child's personality is until you actually spend time with him/her...
I could go on, but it would just not be fair... it's just not the truth! I just didn't have time until now to finish his room. {hehe}
I love the mid century modern era for furniture. I've been searching Craigslist for months trying to find something I could re purpose. And I lucked out! One day, I found this amazing dresser for only $30!
So, it wasn't as beautiful in person as it is in the picture, and I was slightly worried about being able to make it shine. The back needed to be completely taken off, everything needed to be sanded and primed and painted (all 12 coats of paint!!) But after a few days of hard work, I am so pleased!!
I painted it with semi gloss for a sheen and the drawer handles I painted a matte gray color for contrast. It looks great in his light gray room!
Now I haven't decided yet if I'm keeping all of those decals up. I had thought they would be perfect in the room, but the more I look at them, the more I feel only the bees are necessary. (Charlie has a thing for bees)
Plus, they are not a matte finish and therefor hard to see when there is light in the room reflecting on them.
But that's the great thing about decals... they are easy to remove!
Gotta get back to sewing now!
