It's spring - FINALLY - and the birds aren't the only creatures in serious nesting mode!
I still have a ton of baby-related projects to finish, but there are a few others that have crept on the massive To Do list. Basically, I asked myself what I would have liked to accomplish in the next year, and then tacked those on too - knowing full well that if I didn't, it would a looong time until they saw fruition. Some of the projects, like cleaning out the basement, are on-going. But thanks to some help from our massive supporting cast, a few have actually been completed!
One of the most timely and useful finished projects are our new (to us) bedside tables. It's little embarrassing to admit that Edward and I have been without bedside tables for, well, ever. I did buy two small antique dressers with the intention of repurposing them, particularly because we need the extra storage in our bedroom for clothes. However, one of dressers ended up in the Jeannie Suite where storage is even more of a necessity, and the other is now ear-marked for the next incarnation of the boys' room.
These lovely tables came to us via Moncton, when Edward's mother and aunt were cleaning out Jeannie and Grampy's apartment last summer. They are well made, their scale is perfect and the drawer is a perk. They just needed a little freshening up. Enter my father, who took them on as a project. He sanded both, primed, painted and applied polyurethane to protect the new finish. I found the glass knobs at Lee Valley.
We absolutely love how they turned out. Thanks Dad!
