dear norah

While you've been napping, I've been working on a couple of projects. The first is an entertainment center given us by a friend of grandma and pop pop. It was originally a natural wood color.



The second is an old dresser from grandma and pop pop that was originally white. Thank goodness for oma, opa, grandma and pop pop, otherwise we wouldn't have much furniture :)


Here are two closeups of the added hardware. The color of these pictures are a bit off and doesn't resemble the true color, as the first picture does:



Hopefully there is more fun where that came from.
love, mom

I LOVE the color of the dresser. Very cute. Doesn't it feel great to get something accomplished other than putting a baby to bed and nursing. They look great.

Thanks Laina. It does feel great. I think it is so important to do stuff like that to fill your pitcher so you can fill your child's.
