Anyway, we bought a desk at a neighbor's yard sale over the summer and we finally got around to refinishing it! It turned out pretty good if you ask me.
Here's the deal. We really like the idea of projects. And we really like the idea of DIY projects. But sometimes we aren't the best at actually following through. We're great at starting projects. And we're pretty good at getting the MAJORITY done. But...we have a bad habit of not finishing when we only have a small amount left. We're getting better though. :) Go us! Anyway, we bought a desk at a neighbor's yard sale over the summer and we finally got around to refinishing it! It turned out pretty good if you ask me. The BEFORE picture: Notice the drawers don't have hardware. It worked though. Still a pretty nice desk. There's this thing in pregnancy called "nesting." I'd never heard of that before, but I've quickly found out what that means. According to Jake, I've been "nesting" for quite a while now. Every cupboard, closet, room, and corner in our house has been organized. (Expect for my closet, which we decided would be better to clean out AFTER I wasn't feeling whale-ish.) I was able to get through the organization a lot faster than I originally thought. I guess that's what happens when you're alone all day and it's freezing outside! Plus, it's better to get it done now, rather than after the baby comes. Anyway, I've started taking on projects of my own to keep me busy. I'm really not one to just sit. And sit some more. So I've been trying to keep busy! I still have 4 more weeks of pregnancy. That means 28 (give or take a few) more days to fill with projects and such. She's going to have WAY too many little things like the above. This could quickly turn into a problem.
