*Just For You*

“This is my prayer for all of us—'Lord, increase our faith.' Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. . . . Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. . . . Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequence follow.” -Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Fun Stuff :D

I spent this last week refinishing an old dresser that I used to have at my parents. They were no longer using it and I really needed a dresser of my own..don't get me wrong I love sharing with my husband lol...but I felt it was time to have a place for my clothes :D
This is the original dresser. At first I wanted to strip it and restain it, but come to find out its not real wood...big suprise. So I just sanded it and spray painted it black!

Step #2 Primer!

The finished product!!! It turned out so much better than I was even planning! I'm so happy with how great it looks...I guess I do have a green thumb for craftiness! :D

I had so much fun I painted our nightstand also :D It also was a fake wood brown. Its fun to have some new things...even if they are old/new things!

Love. at

    You sure spiffed up that old dresser. Isn't it amazing what elbow grease, time, stripper, primer, paint, papertowels and etc. can produce? I bet it still had the square I painted when I was trying to decide if it would be pretty in pink. I think the black worked out a lot better.
