Just keep swimming!

Too busy to blog!

Every once in a while I have a few more reponsibilities than time!

It will pass, but until it does, I am going to take NEMO's advice-

JUST KEEP SWIMMING!

I know everyone loves a good before and after,

especially me!

I only have the afters,

So your imagination is needed here today!

Ugly old wood nightstand with lots of character!

bought by a darling mom, for her daughter!

I had a hard time giving this next one up.

In fact, I bought fabric to match my spare bedroom,

but I can't keep everything!

So when I saw this adorable fabric, I knew that it would

be perfect for this rocker!

Another cute Mom, is putting it in her nursery!

 The one before picture I have, is the fabric that was on this rocker,
I used it as the pattern for the new cushion.

I love both these pieces and I am so happy they went to a good home! 
 ~update~ The Fabric is Button Blooms by WAVERLY bought at JoAnns.

Before & After

This little 3 drawer dresser was trashed,

like me,

I will explain in a minute!

I had to do quite a bit of repair on this little thing,

but I thought I could rescue it from the dump!

The knobs are big and adorable!

They are stuck on, so I am happy they looked good!

potential for sure!

A little repair, I mean a lot of repair,
I had to remake a drawer!

Some sanding,
a fresh coat of KILZ Groovy Green paint from Walmart,

and stained with my favorite minwax color - Jacobean.

Gorgeous!

Now back to the trashed part - I crashed on my bike, I mean I tipped over!
I was cruising with my Grand son, Cooper and I tried to turn to quick.
Knocked the breath out of me and hurt a rib or two!
And hurt my pride, my children saw me do it!

Hopefully just bruised, but feels like broken!
Yes, I am trashed!
