"she can't really afford that much"

happy weekend to you all. i just gotta say. working one day, then one day off, i could get used to that. the problem that i have been facing lately is that i don't feel happy going to work lately. uh-oh....i didn't want to feel this way about nursing. whatev. i guess this will pass.

many moons ago, when Mason was in utero, i refinished him a beautiful old change table. it was what i thought could be a lovely hobby...that never panned out. not the right time, blah blah blah. it's always been a wish of mine to have lovely lovely period pieces, refinished to my liking, done by my own hands....so i bought these



look at these cutey pie end tables that i got at the local thrift shop! 9 bucks! that's right!



i'm gonna sand them all down with rocketboy's new palm sander and paint/distress them a lovely brown, add some lovely retro knobs for the drawers et voila! new side tables for our bedroom!

and then there's this.....la piece de resistance! so far....



how gorg is that lovely highboy! best part is, hubby loves it! phew! so it will get the same treatment...sanding, priming, painting. i just need a lowboy, a mirror, a long bench and then i am home-making a headboard....just wait! see, i hate all the bedroom suites of today, and for an ungodly amount of money...cost effective, unique & gorgeous....that's what i want.

love, ROCKETGIRL xo
