Curtains

Finally, we're mostly moved in. The old lease ends Wednesday and it'll be great to have all those loose ends tied up. The house we moved into came with some pretty yucky curtains in the living room, not to mention a color scheme that made me gag. Picture flesh tone + sage green. Ew. So after days of repainting everything a cool grey and white, I finally got the awesome fabric I ordered on Etsy. It's beautiful! So, over the last couple days, I finished up the curtains (6 panels!) for our living room. Brightens things right up!

Dumpster pick up

Our latest find at the dumpsters was a dresser for the Dane man. He's getting to the point where the last dresser we found (on the side of the road) is too small for his ever-growing clothing collection. We found this one, looking pretty dumpy, and had to snatch it up for its potential. It had great lines and cool detail, and was FREE, perfect for refinishing! Below are the before and after photos. It only took 4 (ha ha, only...) coats of white gloss and $3 worth of scratch dent handles from Ikea, and it's good as new. Probably better, really:)
