I had to take some time out for my granddaughter due to be here in early April. My son had this cabinet from his bachelor days--
It's about 3' tall, and it's perfect to use for the new baby, but a little bland, so he asked me if I could paint it, which I was happy to do.
Now it goes great with the new crib set that they have--it's a butterfly theme in these colors. I haven't painted any furniture in a while and I always love to see the transformation.
Wow, if you would have told me a year ago that I was going to be painting a piece of furniture for my granddaughter------well, you would have knocked me over with a feather!

ReplyDeleteDiane this is so sweet! I remember I spent days painting a dresser, bookshelf and bunk beds for my girls bedroom and it all looked so great for a few days until the black sharpie pen somehow made it's way into my 4 year old daughter and her friends hands. I cried! Thankfully, baby won't have the ability to wreak havoc on our beautifully done cabinet! I love, love, love it!
