I am super jealous of my friend Cecile. She is creative. I am not. Cecile spent hours painting her dining room ceiling with an intricate design, I made up a lame card game once. Cecile buys ugly furniture and puts hours of sweat and love into it and turns it into something beautiful, I....spray paint things black. haha. BUT times are changing! I decided that I wanted a nine-drawer dresser to for my bedroom. I've been hunting for weeks wherever I go. Cecile even took me out to smelly second hand stores, couldn't find anything that caught my eye. I came home to Brandon this week to hang out with my family and I stopped in at a used furniture store downtown and found this beautiful behemoth of a dresser. 9 drawers just like i wanted. I didn't get a "before" picture unfortunately because we poured paint stripper on it the moment it got into the garage. It was painted white over some grey-ish stain. I've been in the garage all week with paint stripper and a heat gun...and plenty of fumes which make for interesting thought patterns. I've mostly finished the drawers, they're sanded down and just have the sides and the parts between the drawers to sand on the actual dresser.
I can't believe I've had the patience to work on this all week. It feels pretty good to look at something and know that you've made it good. I'd like to thank Cecile for inspiring me to find my creative side, and my dad for all his tools and stuff. haha
