New Master Bed and Bath

These are the before pictures, of the end tables, in the picture below.

 

Laughed and Laughed.

 

Not sure where start because I have so mush going on in my head.  I guess at the very beginning.  When Christmas rolled around Randan asked me what I wanted.  I have wanted to have my office a certain way for a few years now and might have mentioned it before.  I know it will take time, and money, but I couldn't resist in answering his question with " Our Office,"  because that is what I really want.  He asked what I really want, and I replied the same answer.  This went on for a few days.  I came up with another idea that I thought would be a little more manageable for Christmas.  I mean its not like I was the only one getting a gift we needed to take care of both side of our family, each other and the kids. 

There is a place in Fort Duchesne that sales antiques, and I have seen over the years old wood doors there.  I also have seen where people have taken these doors, and made them into head and foot boards for their beds.  I love the look.  I decided that is what I would ask for.   I talked called that store cause I wasn't going to drive a hour to see if on the off chance they had the doors.  I'm am glade I called because the first time  I did they dint have any.  I waited a week or two and decided to  try again. I got lucky so I drove over and got two doors.  When Randan got home that night I don't think he was to impressed.  This is where, in my story, I am disappointed,  because I got before pictures of the doors, but for the life of me I can't find the pictures.  I think you would have all agreed with Randan's assessment.  They were in poor shape.  The previous owner of the foot board had painted it his horrendous, white and blue, with a poorly hand painted (in red) scrolly design, screwed 2x6,s for shelves, and then polyurethane over it.  It was bad.  To add to it they both had a odder.  They don't now thank the heaven's.  I sanded and painted them and Randan helped me make it into a head and foot board for our bedroom, so that is what I got for Christmas from Randan. I got gift cards and money also, so with that I got the decorations that are on the end tables, bathroom, coffee table and dinning table. 

The dressers were my Grandma and Grandpa Haslem's. They went though their house this last summer, and cleaned it out.  I got three of their old dressers.  When we got our bed put together I knew I was going to want something new for the end tables, but had ran out of Christmas $ $.  One morning I came up with the idea of using these two shorter ones for the end tables.  I originally wanted Randan to see if he could cut one of the drawers of making them shorter, but after pulling one in to measure it, I decided I liked how hi they were.  I think Randan was relived, because he quickly agreed with me, and said,  "I like them don't you?"  It was kind of funny how fast he agreed, and gave his opinion.  Him giving his opinion on this kind of stuff, very rarely happens!  I painted them and as you can see in the pictures that is how they turned out.  I am in love with it all.  It is so fun to do this.  I am so very slow at coming up with the ideas, and not sure the best at pulling it all together.  But boy is it fun.
