Furniture

When Grandma Donna passed away a few months ago we inherited a few things from her house.

Some things were good just the way they were.

Like this little orange table

I think its so perfect.

Its not the best picture but I think it's my favorite piece of furniture in the house.

Those are flowers from the funeral. 

The table now holds a tiny globe and some old books.

The other piece of furniture we got was a dresser for Ben.

Not attractive by any means but we needed a place for Ben's clothes.

Our old apartment had built in shelves in the closet so when we moved in our house we were out of luck.

I didn't like the color so I decided to attempt my first furniture remodel.

I think it turned out pretty cute.

Just don't look too closely at the paint job.

Its a chocolate brown with white outlining on the drawers and new hardware.

It wasn't too hard of a project but it did take me a while to complete just cause I got busy with other things after I started.

My next furniture project is a little sewing table from Grandma Donna's as well.

I'm not as motivated to start that one since I'm not really a sewer.

It will be fun though and who knows, maybe I'll learn to sew more than a strait line.
