John has spent the past few weeks working on projects around our little house. His first project, since I can no longer paint, was painting Grandma's old furniture. We were originally going to buy new furniture, but figured we may need to save a little for the mounds of diapers in the very near future. He spent all day on the first piece and surprised me with it when I came home from work. I love the interesting "wave" on the front of the furniture. He is still working on the second piece, but got a little sidetracked with the building of his quail cage.
His second project was putting together our new bed frame. John thought of this Christmas gift all by himself and I thought he did a great job picking it out. I would have been completely surprised but he wanted to make sure I liked it before he purchased it.
With all of these little projects, I laugh to think that John may be "nest
ing" before the baby arrives. Don't tell him I said that. :)
New and improved!
The new bed frame.
The "work in progress".
Jessica, I am completely SHOCKED at how well that dresser came out!! Who would have known?! It looks AMAZING!! And how special that it was Grandma's. I take back my ribbing of John for not buying you some NEW furniture. I absolutely love it. Now can you get John to post a tutorial on how he did that so the rest of us can have the know how. I am so proud of the JD. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Tell John I am impressed :) I also wish that I could come up with a valid, life long excuse to get out of painting...I'm a little jealous. Happy Nesting!
ReplyDeleteI have tried three times to post! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Hopefully this time it'll work. Tell Johnny Cakes that he did a great job on Mom's dresser. It's stunning. And so are you, Jessica. It's so exciting that you and Joanna are both having little girls, two months apart. XO
ReplyDeleteGreat job JD! You have come a long way since the tree house! Make him work hard for you Jessica while you can. Love y'all!
