Here is the ugly dresser before.
I'm too lazy to break out the sander, and it is way too cold to take this project into the garage, so I used a liquid sander/deglosser. It worked surprisingly well though!
Since we moved into our new house, I have been painting lots of furniture and I must say, I am really sick of it! It takes fffffffffooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr. Or maybe I'm just impatient and a little dramatic :)
But, I must say, a little patience pays off in the end. Here is the before and after!
And, onto the rug. I decided to take a plain Ikea rug and paint on it using the "Funky Wheel" stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils. It turned out to be more difficult than I thought it would be, but it definitely adds some fun into the nursery! And, Michael was a trooper and helped me throughout the whole (tedious) project. Here is a little peek of what part of the rug looks like.
That's all the projects I will show for now :) But here are some pregnancy pictures! I feel like I am really starting to "pop" (as my husband calls it). Sometimes, when he gets home from work, he will say, "Wow! You look sooo pr [Here I think he is going to say pretty] egnant!!" lol. Then of course he follows that with a more tactful compliment :) It is really cute how excited he is for these boys to come, though.
