Thoroughly exhausted

We finished painting our bedroom furniture today! Last night BB and I started sanding the nightstands in preparation to be painted. We primed the drawers and the lingerie chest and got to bed at about 11 pm. This morning our new dresser was ready for pick up so Ben (with the help of my fabulous in-laws) picked it up and brought it home! We screwed in the handles (I had picked something different than the dresser originally came with) and put it in place. I love it. I love it thhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss much.

Here are pictures of the completed room. The dresser is the only thing we bought new. The lingerie chest is a $10 garage sale find and the nightstands are recycled from my high school days. I couldn't be happier with the results and while I wouldn't call the process fun, it wasn't hard and it is rewarding to see the finished product. Not to mention, the whole thing cost about a fifth as much as buying a whole new room.

Ben worked so hard on this. We both did, but this was kind of 'my project' and I didn't even have to ask him to help, he just jumped in and helped. What a sweetie!
