Before New Paint                

Over the last week we finally refinished the chest of drawers we inherited from Randy’s side of the family. A little sanding and a lot of painting later and we have the first piece of the nursery completed. We started the project while Sara was visiting and know it would have gone a lot less smoothly had it not been for her help. After all, Randy and I are not the quintessential DIYers.

We now know that the chest of drawers goes back even further than we thought. I was mistaken in thinking that Jane bought this for Randy’s nursery but – in fact – Pi Pi bought this for Jane’s nursery over 50 years years ago. How cool is that? This piece is on its third generation of wee ones! 

Thanks to Sara, Bridget, and many others, the Biscuit already has a lovely collection of toys some of which are shown in the picture on the right. The polk-a-dot frame is a gift from Bridget. The floppy lion is something i picked up at Sprout here in Atlanta. And the rest are little goodies from Sara. Thanks to all!
