Summer Project

It all started with a dresser I inherited from my mom that she had as a young girl. It's an Ethan Allen dresser as Grandma Claussen would only buy the best. As young girls, Heidi and I had this dresser in our room and over the years the paint chipped and it started looking old and worn. When Eric and I moved into our first house we ended up getting this old, worn dresser and we had it in our bedroom. I had it on my list to refinish it, but it just never happened. When we moved into our new house, Laura inherited the dresser and I bumped up the refinishing project a little bit higher on the list as a 50 year old dresser sitting in a brand new room makes it look really old. This summer I finally did it. I finally refinished the dresser and I absolutely love it!

It doesn't even phase me anymore when Laura jumps in the van in dress up attire. Today she went to Sherwin Williams and Walmart dressed as a bride. Of course, Laura turned every head (which she loved). Meanwhile, I was definitely looking like the worn out mom wearing a snot smeared shirt with a hole in the arm-pit, a hair-do that will never be in style, and a makeup less face, Oh, and I was wrestling a one year old that didn't want to ride in the cart. Who knew the circus was in town!
