Rather than buying new furniture for the baby room, we decided to give some old dressers we had in the garage a makeover. I forgot to take "before" pictures of the small dresser before I started, but it looked just like the larger dresser shown here.
And here's what the finished product looks like.
I'm planning to start the larger dresser today. This fits in with my version of "taking it easy" as I sit down the whole time I'm painting, and have been making an effort to keep my feet up at least some of the time while doing it. It also keeps me sane.
Over the past year or so, I've realized that doing something creative, whether it's painting, drawing, stained glass, or any of the other assorted hobbies I've picked up over the years makes me a much more pleasant person. I'm in a wonderful mood after I do these things, and I've realized that they are truly essential for my emotional wellness.
This looks a little labor intensive...are you sure you're resting????
