{dresser transformation + long-ish hair}

remember when hubby and i decided to refinish our dresser forever ago?

i never did end up showing you the finished result because well,

it never quite got finished.

but i figure it is close enough. cause who knows when we'll actually get around to putting the missing knobs on or giving it the distressed look we want.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

i'm thinking it's a pretty decent improvement, no?

it really brightens up the room.

my favorite part is the vintage jade knobs we found on ebay 

(an affordable alternative to anthro!)

my parents had some leftover glossy white paint they were so kind to let us use,

so it ended up costing very little.

joel did an amazing job sanding it before and between each coat - 

he was definitely not messin' around.

i did a pretty good job at painting, with the exception of a few drip spots...

by the end, i was not worried about perfection - i just wanted it to be done!!

have you transformed a piece of furniture lately?

on an entirely different note,

i got my hairs trimmed tonight, 

and it's straight for the first time in months.

weird.

look how long it's getting! (believe me, this is long for me)

hopefully i can keep going strong & not spontaneously chop it like i did about a year ago

(and countless other times in my life)!
