it's official. i'm in the nesting phase and nothing in this house is safe. i walk around all day long and dream into the night of how i can alter my surroundings. this is one part of the female psyche that jeff doesn't quite get. i try to explain but the simplest answer–it is an innate desire to create. molding and changing my world brings happiness. and being happy is good.
so welcome to my little series called "nest fest." my head is full of ideas. the pocketbook is not so full, however. but i'm convinced that i can find a happy intersection for the two. it's gonna be fun!
with that…here is my first project.
i purchased this lovely beast off of craigslist a while ago. i have had good intentions for it but i've been oh so afraid of refinishing furniture. good thing the nesting bug has bitten because this weekend it got a facelift.
a sneak peek…
hopefully it will be a happy ending for this baby!

It looks really cool. You’ve got vision!!
I LOVE LOVE refinishing furniture!
Happy nesting! Just tell Jeff to sit back and enjoy this burst of energy, creativity, and productivity because when the sweet little baby arrives (at least in my case)…it all comes to a screeeeching halt. I love the nest fest. And…of course that cabinet will be out of sight…you’re involved in its evolution!
it looks great. You are so much braver than me. I have wanted to do that will all the dressers in the house, but I’m not brave and I don’t want to ruin it.
Hi Cherie, thank you so much for answering my questions, you have been really helpful. I have one more question. Do you also have a nice flash? Heather told me she thinks that makes such a big difference. I would like to eventually get both, but for now I only want to buy a lens or a flash. Thanks so much for your help, you can respond on your blog or I will check my email again. Thanks
Michelle
Looks like it’s going to be really cute.
Ooooooo…that dresser is going to be DELIGHTFUL!
