stop me if you've heard this one....

i went to the auction and i got......the same thing cassie did....


AND this cute table/desk! since it's a mahogany stain, im hitting it with some cover stain primer for those hard to reach areas and then brushing on the same primer for the flat areas. i recently saw an avocado green table that someone linked up somewhere (i cant remember where) and i think im may try something like that. or maybe a darker blue? or light gray?


and since im sure you all follow cassie's blog then you know that we made some stops on our way back at the goodwill and i picked up this dresser with a matching mirror


and here it is so far (i've hurt my right wrist somehow so i'm taking a day to recover before i distress and antique it)


im really having a hard time not keeping this for my daughters room. she has been through 4 dressers in the last year and seems like nothing works. and can i just tell you that she is in LOVE with the 4' mirror that goes with this? its a big as she is and if you know anything about little girls then you know they like LOVE to look at themselves!!

so i've made my monthly quota of 1 post. dont expect too much more from me = ) im off to finish some blog reading and work on my banner!

HAPPY EASTER PEEPS = )
