Finished

I finally finished these ones. They were trouble from the start.
First, I didn't know from the pictures I was looking at before I bought them that the side tables had fake drawers. Second, they were finished with some sort of wax, which I found out, is impossible to get rid of, even with chemicals.

Christa got me into this really great paint colour for furniture - it's called bittersweet chocolate and it kind of looked and smelled like chocolate too.

See that drawer? Fake.


Martha would be so proud.

Oooooh, they turned out soooo nice!!! How's the desk? I can't remember, were you doing it in Bittersweet Chocolate too? I'm so happy for your coffee & bedside tables, honey :) xoxox

I didn't do the desk yet. Still scared to paint all over that work. We'll see...

Stupid fake drawers! The handle unexpectedly broke off one of my dresser drawers last night.

I like the colour a lot. Also, your new banner. I was trying to get Kelly to make me one, but he never did.

i know! i was sad to find out they were fake, and there isn't a shelf or anything in them. i'm not too excited about that.

i'll make you a banner. what do you want?
