It's finally done!

A long time ago my grandma gave us an old dresser. It was a very ugly color. Kind of a brownish/yellowish color, and half of the drawers fell out if you pulled them to far. But we were very grateful to have it. So I painted it, and lined the drawers. I remember the color (white chocolate) because I loved the name more than anything. When we got our new bedroom set (my parents graciously gave us) we good willed the dresser, but I kept the mirror that came with it. I just couldn't get rid of it. I kept it until I knew what I wanted to do with it. When we moved into our new house I new I wanted to put it in the entry way. But that I didn't want it white anymore. So I finally painted it black. Then I stressed it a little (or a lot actually). I painted the emblem a chocolate brown. Then stressed it too. The picture really doesn't do it justice. Even Richard thought I did a pretty good job. So next time you come over oooh, and ahhh about it. I'm not usually one to pat myself on the back. But I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Now I want to get a black table to put under it. Then when I buy a new frame for our family picture. To replace the old frame that one of my adorable children broke, (I won't mention any names) my entry way will be complete.



p.s. You guys like my C. It is probably my favorite decoration in my house.
