Today I finally finished a chest of drawers I have been working on for the nursery:
They used to look like this....
Seems like it would have been quite a simple project, right? Wrong!
Well, the preparation part was simple enough, but painting the red lines on the drawers and along the bottom was a real nightmare. The red paint I had covered so terribly that I had to paint each line about 6 times and that resulted in a lot of stuff ups!
Luckily I had already decided it would be 'distressed', so I knew it would end up being ok:
Did you see those handles? Well, did you? They were the WORST part of the whole thing to do. No matter how I painted them they just didn't fit in well with the look I was trying to create. In the end I just decided to paint them one last time and leave them however they turned out.
OOh, for a moment there I thought the addition to the nursery was - gulp - a new baby!
