Week 18 Project

When I graduated college and moved into my apartment in Nashville, I had very little furniture of my own. I've posted before that a lot of my stuff is hand-me-downs from my parents. There were still three kids living at home, more or less (my sister was in college) and so there was no extra bedroom set. I didn't need a whole set. I had a huge walk-in closet all to myself. I had my sister's old day bed, and my childhood desk.


When I stepped up my "big girl" (read adult into that) game and bought a bed, I suddenly needed a nightstand. Enter the weekly Bed Bath & Beyond mail inserts including the 20% coupon. Super simple, rather inexpensive nightstand. Two things I knew a wanted: a bit of storage and space underneath. I'm not a huge fan of furniture that meets the floor. I think it cuts of the line of sight and makes a room feel smaller. I digress. Like I said I didn't have any other bedroom furniture to speak of, so it didn't need to match anything.


Well, now with the house, I've been buying more furniture and actually have a dresser I love. It's 'beaut from IKEA and its black.



Time for a paint job. I used some more of the high-gloss paint I used in the kitchen and fireplace. So, this was a no-cost job. Two coats later and this is what I got!

Not too much crafting here, but my weekly project all the same.

Hopefully in a future post you'll see how well it matches my dresser!
