I've picked up a new obsession...a really addicting obsession I always wanted to have, but never had the time for in my life. I've started redoing thrift store finds and am LOVING it!!!
This past weekend's project: a dresser for a future foster baby.....yep, baby...last night's class gave us a little more hope that we may have a foster baby...yes, lots of smiles from Joel & I in class last night.
I purchased a white crib in Chicago and was having a difficult time finding a matching dresser on Craigslist in Pittsburgh, so, instead of paying $400 for a new, white dresser, we paid $60 on Craigslist. A huuuuge thank you to our Chicago friends for giving us a "Craigslist gift
card" at our goodbye party!!
We hauled it home in typical Joel & Amy fashion: on the roof of our Honda Civic tied down with straps. We do this kind of thing ALL the time! I wish I would have taken a picture of it.
We sanded, primed, & painted....I am still covered in paint 3 days later....
I found the cutest little knobs at Michael's last week for just $1.
My head has been swimming with ideas for this room!! I'm sooo excited!!!

GreAt job, A & J!!!!! Love the knobs!!! And love that you are doing white so you are free to pick whatever colorscheme you want later when you get your phone call for your baby!!!!! What does the new bedding look like?
