Furniture Project

My new adventure has nothing to do with travel, but it has been furnishing my new bedroom.  Last week I moved into a townhouse with a really cool roommate.  She is creative designer and has been working on several projects in the house.  When I bought 2 nightstands and a dresser at Goodwill that were a little beat up, I decided to follow her lead and start a project of my own.

The three furniture pieces are all pine oak and were painted brown by their previous owner(s).  Overall, they were all in decent shape, with a few nicks here and there.

I started with the 9 drawer dresser and spent 2 very warm, mosquito filled nights sanding down the wood so that I could prime and re-paint.  When I finished sanding, I decided I liked the new sanded down, "vintage" look, so my plan changed.

I love the new look and just have to protect the wood with some wax.

It's been quite the project, but I'm excited about the result!  Now that the dresser is almost finished, I'll have to plan my attack for each of the nightstands!  I have a feeling this project still has a long way to go!
