I hope you had an amazing weekend! Did you miss me!?!? I hope you missed me because I MISSED YOU! If you read my last post about my computer, you know that I was waiting to hear from the computer peeps about the assessment of the damage. Well, the good news is that the computer can be fixed, but all of my documents are gone. BUM-MER. The hard drive is completely gone. Lame.
The great news is that I knew that day was coming and I backed up almost everything. PHEW!! So, I will be getting a new computer soon so if you have any advice on what I should get, don’t hold back. I want to know. 
Mac? PC?
Mac? PC?
Moving on….
I pinned this amazing dresser to my Pinterest account to use as inspiration on an upcoming project, and the source of the photo isn’t correct. I wish I knew where it was from! {If you know, please tell me so that I can give proper credit}.
Plus, the before picture of this dresser is also missing in the mumbo jumbo of having my computer die this last week. So, I’m so sorry!! It is old, solid wood and had been painted white a long time ago. The paint wasn’t even, and it was coming off in certain spots. When the surface you need to paint starts out in bad shape, you need to strip off the paint.
So, I started with stripping the dresser.
I recommend using Citristrip. A stripping agent that doesn’t burn your hands when you use it. Believe me, I have used plenty of strippers that have left my hands in BAD shape. So if you will notice, I am not wearing gloves during the stripping process, and it didn’t even hurt!! Bonus.
I had to strip this bad boy at least three times to get down to the wood. I brushed on a thick coat of the Citristrip and followed the instructions. Then I took a flat puddy knife and scrapped off the paint {talk about INSTANT gratification!}
When I got to this point of the stripping process, I e-mailed the gal that I’m doing the dresser for and asked her if she was SURE that she wanted me to paint the dresser. BECAUSE I LOVE THIS LOOK. Oh. my. gosh. I think it is gorgeous. It is chippy, old, and for the right home looks absolutely perfect.
But, everyone’s style is different, so we went forward with the original plan. No worries. It is going to be AWE-SOME! Stay tuned.
P.S. Say a little prayer for me since my car decided to freak out the same week my computer died. $1100 later is no bueno. Gotta love being an adult sometimes huh!?!?
A young man, who has been plagued with a rare condition which left him with a giant head, feet and hands, is desperately searching for a cure so he can finally find love. Sain Mumtaz, 22, has been seriously disfigured by Proteus syndrome which has caused certain parts of his body to continue growing. He has been accepted by locals in his neighbourhood on the outskirts of Lahore, in Pakistan, but the disease has left him with ongoing medical problems and he finds it difficult to get around.
It is thought that Sain suffered from a unique variation of Proteus syndrome – which also affected ‘Elephant Man’ Joseph Merrick – because of the symmetrical deformity on his face and skull. Heartbreakingly Sian once believed his terrible affliction was a curse bestowed on him by a vengeful God, leaving him listless and depressed. But supportive friends and family have kept his spirits high and he is now determined to embrace life. Kindly locals refer to him as their ‘giant friend’ and are determined to discover a cure for Sian who in turn hopes he will meet the woman of his dreams.
