Projects

I really wanted to make good use of the time that Cary had off for the holidays, and painting dressers was on the top of that list.

 

I got this dresser from my mom over 5 years ago, right before Aidan was born and I've originally been wanting to stain the bottom part and paint the top white, but since I'm pregnant and shouldn't be inhaling those kind of fumes, and it's WAY too cold to be doing this outside or anywhere with ventilation, it all got painted white.

 

 

This is just a cheap RAST dresser from IKEA that we bought for Aidan when we first moved into this house. Aidan wanted me to paint it red last summer and I never got around to it. Well, he hasn't mentioned recently that he still wanted it red, and I had this little sample pot of Valspar Cobalt Cannon, so I went ahead and painted it that color.

I really like it.

Aidan does not.

He still wants it to be red.

 

The boys have another dresser in their room that I wanted to work on as well, but I ran out of steam and now I'm kind of wishing I would have stuck to painting the little dresser red, and painting the bigger one that blue because I really ended up liking the color. ☺
