Chest for Bedroom

So Ive been really busy lately, and between helping my MIL after her hip replacement surgery Ive found a little time to sneek in a project that has been sitting on my back porch since last winter. I bought this chest of drawers for $375.00 it was in horrible condition, now when i say horrible i mean horrible! The chest was used in a mechanics shop to store greasy old parts so you can imagine how the inside of the drawers looked. We took off the old handles, replaced them with vintage glass pulls, sanded and filled random bee holes that it had in it. Finally I started with priming the entire unit, it took several layers of primer to seal in all the grease stains. So after sealing them I decided on a flat antique white. The drawers are huge, and its so nice to finally have room in our bedroom to store our belongings.

Our headboard finally came from Target too, it took what seemed like months and months of waiting, and I am kind of disappointed in it, only because I thought it would be fuller and thicker. But its still really lovely for the price, and after a good coating of scotchguard we got it mounted up to the bed frame and it looks better than nothing. I found a lovely round tufted velvet pillow to go on it at Bed Bath & Beyond for 29.00 and I think it helped break up the whiteness of it all.

My hubby leaves on Wednesday to San Diego, Im definitly going to miss him even if its for 3 days. Our son is a senior drill instructor in the Marine Corps. and he is graduating his first platoon as SDI this week, so were excited for him, and then he will fly back home with his wife and our new grandson who we are really excited to see for the first time. Hopefully I can convince the hubby to put the corbel shelf up in the bathroom before he leaves for San Diego.
