UGLY DRESSER!...and other various assundries...

The weather on the mountain is going to be GORGEOUS the next few days...a perfect time to undertake a furniture project I've been excited about!  I needed a night stand/dresser in my bedroom and in this tight economic time I decided to be greenish and do my own used one instead of buying one new.  OH BROTHER...so much to do and I take this on...with the help of my most wonderful husband!

Here she is in all her UGLY glory!  Chipped and horrible tan paint, knobs in the middle...but otherwise a solid wood piece that will work with some alterations!  Color is obvious...YUCK...I need black to go in my bedroom...so that's a given...BUT, it is a little too tall, so one drawer is going to be cut off...paint stripped and holes filled as I plan to make these drawers a two pull operation...So...off I go!  Hopefully in a couple of days it will be beautiful and I will proudly show you the end result.  If it flops, I'll show you that too and we will all get a little laugh!

Not to be without my artwork in process at the same time I am working on a new piece that will be a wax collage or an encaustic or some such thing...but she needs to dry.  Yes, that is a 300 lb piece of watercolor paper on the top...I'll explain as I go!

HAPPY CREATING!

I was going to tell you I thought the finishing touches in the aspen forest in 'Colorado Fall' were just brilliant -- and here I find you've already started two new projsects! I'm sure glad you're going to finish up the drawers in a couple of days (although it's kind of hard to believe) because I can't wait to see the results!
