Ok, it's pretty obvious
I'm addicted to anything a little "fishy"
I'm blaming it on the salty sea air
This took a lot
hours and hours
days and days
of sanding to make it properly stripped.
SIDE NOTE: Do you know what happens when you sand wood
in 90 deg
with a slight breeze
stirring the hot air
blowing the sawdust back on your glistening skin?
I looked like I got in a fight with a bottle of cheap tanning lotion.
Isn't Prince such a dear?
Have you ever seen the I Love Lucy episode
where Ethel tells Lucy
the best way to get a husband to do something is
attempt to do it yourself
and they step in to make sure it's done right?
BINGO.
Just looking at her now makes me smile...and smile....and smile.
My sister helped me pick the color and it is soooo perfect.
Can you believe I found these seahorse drawer pulls here?
I know...wow.
I had resigned to buying some knobs off ebay
and waiting for a visitor to bring them.
When we were in the hardware store choosing the paint I stumbled on these.
{deep sigh} Thank you, Lord.
Somewhere on a crafty blog,
I saw a lady lined her drawers with really nifty paper.
Cute, huh? I didn't "thunk" it up myself.
I stored the idea in the back of my
way-to-crowded memory
and {again} I love the way it looks.
Loving life,
If you don't remember the other project I made with this discarded treasure you can find it in my You Are My Inspiration Board post.

Maria, sorry for the delay in getting back to you re: Nav Bar. Try going to your blogger dashboard and find where it says comments. Click on it and scroll down to where it says Comment Moderation. Right below that it asks you to leave your email address if you want comments mailed to you.
This should fix the problem.
I'm so sorry the nav bar presented a problem. Maybe try it again in a couple of weeks
P.S. Maria, I love what you did with the dresser. You're amazing.
Blessings,
Jasmine
