Out with the old, in with the *almost* new

 
Two years ago, my grandma Celia passed away.  She had some dressers that I always thought they were pretty neat.  When my aunts and uncles were cleaning Grandma's apartment, they asked if I wanted them.  I said sure.  We got them home and they sat in the garage since then.  I always thought that the little dresser would make a nice changing table.  So, after we started this process, we decided to start working on them.  The pictures are pretty poor quality, but you will get the idea. 
 
Here are the before pictures:


 

Here is the first coat of primer:


 Here is the final product:  The outside of the dressers are a dark green and the drawers are a lighter green.  I then did some details on the drawers, which were in pain in the but!  But I do think they turned out pretty awesome!  The knobs also will be the dark green. 


 
 
We are waiting to hear from our licenser.  We hopefully will hear by the end of the week or early next week!

Hurry UP......and wait

We are still waiting.  No news.  I check the mailbox quickly everyday to see if there is a packet with our license in it.  I am getting worried and nervous now; even more so than before. 

Here are a few before and after photos:


On the flip side, we have been preparing.  My mom came last weekend and we paint what will be a child's room.  And then I did some crafty for the walls!

Here is the finished project (not yet on the wall :)


We now have the dresser and changing table in the bedroom.......and they both need to be primed and painted yet!

Thanks for checking up on us!!!  Hopefully we will have good news soon!!
