a desert fete

I am so bad at reporting back. Finally, here is our new dresser, and in-progress room. Shall we review the plan of attack?


*GET A *DRESSER
*hang the lampshade acquired from mom -I hung it to see how it looks, but I have not actually bought a light for it. Maybe I should uncross it?
*arrange for the nightstands that I started crafting YEARS ago to finally be completed
*curtains, have made-In progress
*repurpose furniture into other parts of the house -If you count dumping it all into the spare room repurposing
*deal with bedding -I found those cute throw pillows and am satisfied. *
*paint walls -still cannot decide if we want a dark grey wall. The one the bed is up against. We really like a light bedroom, so.
*update wall decor -The dresser wall looks good, I think, but I will update the rest after the painting.
*deal with the mirror situation -we really need a floor length one.
*new tend for the dresser top
*decide about the pink thing -it went into the "office" room, no more pink in the room!

*the day after the rad dresser was secured Britt & Carinna and I went to heaven, also known as the yard sale of a mid century collector. I scored so much rad shit for nothing, including 2 of those pillows. The other 2 I found the next week at the swap meet. Also purchased was that hippie wall hanging thing. I still can't decide how I feel about it. Ben's only comment is that it reminds him of his home when they lived in Tucson. (aka the 70's) A sentiment corroborated when I saw something similar hanging in the backdrop of one of my family photos.

In case you missed it, the pre-new-dresser room is here.
