Well it’s finally Thursday and I must say I am feeling a little better about my current situation. I am almost caught up, kind of, on orders. I have A working on disconnects and well it’s THURSDAY! I don’t feel as overwhelmed today as I have the past couple of days and it’s nice. Oh and I am actually making time to blog. YAY! I feel bad I was such a slacker yesterday but oh well.
Since before I moved in with M, I knew the bedroom would be a challenge. M, having been a bachelor for 4+ years, didn’t have much in the bedroom furniture department. And while I had bedroom furniture, what I had would not have been enough to hold all of our stuff. Plus it was more on the girlie side. Hence it is now our guest room. :) Before all the wedding plans were put into motion, I had dreams of matching bedroom suites with perfectly matching linens. Yeah, not gonna happen. At least not right now anyway. So I decided I would have to make do with what I could find. This happens to be a chest of drawers, my chest of drawers from childhood, that I had been using as extra storage in my townhouse. My mom has the dresser and maybe one day I’ll be able to actually get it back. She says when the house sells! Whatever. Anyway, she had painted the dresser black so I asked for the color so I could match the chest of drawers.
This weekend I decided I would tackle painting the chest of drawers. M and I headed to Lowe’s, picked up some paint and then I searched through the various knobs and pulls trying to find something I liked that wasn’t too expensive. After finally making up my mind it was time to paint. OMG it was hot on Saturday. I managed to get the drawers painted but not the actual chest. On Sunday I made M move the car and help me get the chest in the garage. Much better. Still hot but not nearly as bad. So now sitting in our downstairs hallway is a fully painted chest of drawers. I am hoping that we will put it upstairs tonight. If only I could get the dresser I would be set. Almost. M even said I could paint the bed if I really wanted. Which may actually happen once I have the furniture upstairs. He has, however nixed my new bedding idea. Apparently paisley is considered floral. We will see who wins that one. 😉
