Dresser/Changing table makeover.

When I was pregnant with Sailor, I was determined to decorate as much of her room myself as I could.  I did not, under any circumstances, want to go to a store and buy a nursery-in-a-bag or any other ready-made things.  So, I started looking for a dresser that I could makeover on craigslist, and I found this beauty.  I don't actually have a good before picture, but it was a poopy brown color, with a black top.




(Please note that all of these "before" pictures were taken at my parents house!)



I decided to paint the dresser a turquoise blue color, and make the top white.  I LOVE how it turned out.



And the after pictures:


The knobs are probably my favorite part of the whole thing, to be honest.  They're from Anthropologie, and my mom bought them for me, because she knows that I'm in love with that store, but it's a little too rich for my blood. 

I am so fail.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, I'm a crappy blogger.  I have such high hopes for myself, but this one keep distracting me.


Daily Nail(polish)

This little gem is American Apparel Neon Red polish and I love it.  What I don't love, however, is that I can't leave it on my nails for very long.  It's SO distracting.  I love the color, but the neon is out of control.  I took these pictures forever ago, but I painted my nails this color again yesterday, and have already changed it, because it's so cray.
