Dresser makeover

I picked up this antique dresser last summer at a garage sale for $5. The veneer was cracked and missing and there were no drawer pulls. I filled the places missing veneer with wood filler and sanded..Here's what it looks like today after I primed it with an olive base...Tomorrow I will take a candle and rub over the high spots and then paint the cream...After that coat dries, I will sand the high spots to let some of the green show through...I might paint something on the drawers if inspiration presents itself

Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't

Love hate relationship

Whenever I start to hate Facebook or the internet I remember...That my children, grandchildren, friends and family are just a click away...That I can smell fresh picked strawberries, see newborn babies, remember sweet times, know that love is invisible but always there...

Love is a choice, not an obligation...There is no need to feel guilt if you don't feel emotion when it is expected.
