TGI...Thursday?

It's been a while since an actual TGI... Thursday post has gone up - but as a reminder...why TGI...Thursday? For those of us working ladies out there, Thursday is the gateway to the end of the week, we've busted butt and taken names, and we're so close to some quality time with the family, a good book, or whatever you do to chill after a working week. So I created TGI...Thursday? to help get us through to that gateway to the weekend!

In an effort to promote some of my favorite Etsy shops (unbeknownst to them) for the next month, I will be choosing my fav images and linking over to their shops - click over and give them a looksie!

This week is a newly found favorite of mine, a shop by the name of: Jolie Made, find her blog here.

The Story of A Dresser

Once upon a time we had this:

Hideous. And I'm talking about the dresser...pretend the couch isn't also hideous. Gah. I can't even look at this photo any longer. This was taken the week we moved into our house.

Let's fast forward to about 8 months later, when the great transformation occurred:

Getting better. We moved the dresser to a different wall, added a random assortment of frames, and whatever else was on hand.

Then we took it a step further:

Sam took out all the drawers, and built shelves in their place.

With Kona's supervision of course. And that orange chair, it's another project I hope to start soon.

Then I took the sander to the parts that we wanted to paint.

The bits of rock/concrete in the photo below were helping the new shelves adhere to the wood glue that we used. And please excuse the adult beverages ;)

In the end, we picked up two baskets from Marshall's and ended up with this:

Happy Monday!
