Day 390- furniture face lift!

Kyle's grandmother passes away a few months ago and we got some of her furniture, His mom brought us a dresser and night stand (and washer and drier!! Yay for no more laundromat) a few weeks ago. When we got the dresser we decided it would not go in our room, where it was much needed, until we gave it a little face lift. There is no better motivation to get a project done then having it in the middle of your living! Deciding what we wanted to do was the hardest part, but it was a piece of cake after that.
We decided to go with a "rusic/ old" looking finish because that is what our room already has in it (barn wood head board that Kyle made, old windows are under construction for night stands) so The crackle look is would be! Kyle sanded for me, I painted and crackled and painted again! It turned out so much better then we anticipated!! It was definitely a learning experience, but it was so fun!
The dresser is now in our room and the night stand is in our little entry way. It's amazing how a little face lifting can really complete a little house...All week at least once a day Kyle has said to me I love our place now! Or I love having a clean cute house (meaning not having a dresser in the middle of the living room) I love it too!
Now for the before and after pics...
