New life given.

Friday I drummed up the energy to sand down this little baby. I sort of forgot to take a before picture of it with it's handles on and such.

I should mention that I did have a helper. She was awesome.

These handles were brass in color. I used some left over spray I had from refinishing my fireplace. I like the gray. I'm sure it looked quite ridiculous seeing a plump, ready to pop princess sanding down this bad boy, but I stuck at it vigorously and decided I couldn't wait to paint it.

So I did!

All in all I think it took around 7 hrs from start to finish. Not bad I think. Except I was seriously exhaused. When I was almost finished painting a second coat I remembered the blasted mirror! I was a little devistated by that news, but grabbed my trusty sand paper and caught it up to it's little family. Hooray!

I'm done!

I now have the girls old dresser for Ollies clothes and feel a little more prepared for this little guy to arrive.

It could use a little facelift as well. It's just not bad enough to do the work though...yet. ;)
