On Saturday morning, I decided to go for a run with my buddy Beth, and Noah decided to combine two small and relatively close gardens into one larger one on our front lawn. He started by removing our annoying weed infested turf, and turning the soil in a plot shaped like a jelly-bean (yum! I wish we were growing jelly beans!) He then edged the garden with brick and black plastic edging from Lowes. Taking time out only to watch team USA play in the World Cup, he left me to put a second coat of stain on a dresser we bought at The Mill Store in Scarborough several weeks ago. Of course he returned to his garden after the game :)
Noah had done the first coat of stain last weekend... and even though we could have coated it again sooner- we chose to use it as 'an indoor activity for a rainy day'. The dresser needed an easy buff done, so I used an extremely find grained sandpaper,and went to town. After a quick wipe away of dust, the dresser was ready for coat number two! I enjoy the light honey tone we used, and will go great in our new bedroom. We opted to purchase knobs to our liking, as the knobs that were included seemed boring to us. The new knobs are nickel, and match our new room well also!
Now if only I could figure out how to post these pics.... stay tuned!
