Home Improvements: Part III.

I realize I haven't blogged in WAY too long, 

I do apologize. 

I did try and blog some last week, 

but the website was on the fritz.

Crazy. 

Anyway, 

I wanted to share some more of my home improvement efforts.

Over the summer I inherited some old furniture from my parents,

who recently moved.

So I set out to refinish a chest of drawers and an end table. 

I had an idea of what I wanted to do,

but I wasn't really following any sort of plan;

I'm more of an "off the cuff" kinda gal. 

So here's a glimpse of the LONG refurbishing process.

Here's what I started with:

The chest of drawers. 

The end table. 

First,

 I sanded them down to get the shiny finish off,

so I could paint them.

I did the same to the end table. 

Next, 

came the first coat of paint!

I wanted the two pieces be able to go together if need be, 

but not necessarily match.

So I went with a base of navy blue for the chest of drawers, 

with off white for the handles. 

I decided to go with a base of off white for the end table. 

The next step proved to be the most time consuming...

Painting all THE DETAILS!

I do love details. 

After MANY hours spent in the garage working,

and MANY hours of watching Netflix while I painted,

this is what I came up with. 

The chest of drawers!

The end table!

I was so excited to get them to Ruston,

so I could get them into the house!! 

I ended up using the chest of drawers for extra storage in the bathroom!

And the end table became my much needed bedside table!

So that's the story of my furniture painting!! 

It was a lot of work, 

but it was well worth it!

I love how everything turned out!
