Little Girl's Dresser is Done!

I've had this dresser done for a bit now, but I've been having a hard time getting a post together. Since I know that all of you will just scroll through the pictures anyway, I'm saying screw it to the actual text of this post and just getting on with the photos.

So here's the before. Pretend there is very insightful and meaningful text here talking about the wonderful potential I saw in this old and dirty craigslist find.  And while I'm at it: so sorry for not commenting much lately!  My Google Reader has 1000+ unread posts waiting for me...







And here's the after. Let's pretend that here I wrote something so insightful that I made you cry. Yes, cry people! I am that great of a writer afterall. My words speak to the soul!





A little sandpaper, primer, spray paint and Bam! New dresser for a cool little girl.

Send me lots of accolades for my hard work everyone because foster puppy is slowly driving me crazy.



p.s. If I can get it together I plan on linking the project up to a bunch of parties. All the buttons are in my sidebar.
