I’m a sanding maniac.

In my last post, ya’ll got to hear what I’ve been doing that has kept me away from sewing. Here is another project I’ve been working on. Last year, when I moved out of the house, I picked up a cheapy (but all wood) dress and nightstand for my twin girls. It was originally a light pink color that was pretty ratty. I sanded the crap out of this and got all the pink off of it. Then I spray painted the dresser black and the drawers a darker shade of pink. I found some wooden knobs and painted them black to match. You can’t really tell in this picture but the dresser has got great little details. It’s missing a drawer because there is a little wood gluing going on.

 

 

Here’s the matching nightstand. I need to get a few more knobs.

 

 

Here’s a close-up so you can see the detail. I added little adhesive gemstones to the handles. I love them.

I’m hoping I’ll be completely done with the knobs and everything in the next day or two. My girls will looooooooooooooove it.
