More Furniture

The air is cool, sort of, the Arizona winter is here. As I type a soft rain is falling steadily, a cool breeze lazily twirling through my open window. It's a lovely night, the kids and husband are asleep, and I have time to blog.







It's also the time of year that my garage is a hospitable place again. I am excited to be back in the furniture business.







I started this year by doing what I have been thinking about doing for some time. After moving ten times in ten years, my wood furniture is MESSED UP. It's what I call, BTH... or beat to H***. So I decided to banish the dents and scuffs and dried milk and Sharpie with a little sandpaper and paint.







I started with my bedroom dresser. It was in my parents bedroom all my childhood, I remember. It was in my brother and sister in law's (Brent and Emily) bedroom for a few years. Emily actually put the cute silver knobs on it.

I picked red paint... it turned out great and looks good in my room....
