{meg's musings}

this weekend was bliss.

for the first time since december, joel's saturday was completely. free.

this meant that joel and i got to spend the entire day together.

in fact, we got to spend all of sunday together as well.

it was grand. 

though it did rain most of the weekend, 

we were able to make a brief trip to the farmers' market to snag some
fresh bread and even fresh pasta,

which i will be using in the mediterranean pasta (my all-time fave) that
i'm whipping up for dinner tonight.

we also did some shopping for knobs/handles for our dressers,

(including some clearanced ones from anthro -- score!)

and got started on refinishing the first one.
this is our first big project together, and it's been a lot of fun so far!

joel is serious about producing a beautiful finished project,

so this is turning out to be much more of a process than i had originally imagined.

but i'm sure i'll be glad of it in the long run.

this is the dresser we're currently revamping :

passed down from who knows who, i've had it in my bedroom(s) as long as i can remember.

the i-don't-even-know-what-color-to-call-it wood veneer definitely had to go
(along with the unsightly knobs).

i will share photos when it's been made pretty again... hopefully by next week!

this whole project was inspired by my newly acquired desk,

found last week on craig's list
(please ignore the ugly cords in the back)

isn't she lovely?

i've been wanting a desk since we moved into our place last August

and am so, so happy with this one!

no more alternating between sitting cross-legged and kneeling at my makeshift coffee table desk!

yesssssssssss.
