We have been given a lot of cute hand-me-down baby boy clothes as well as some cute clearance ones from Carter's (thanks Glori!). I thought we would be able to manage all of the baby things in the little night stand we have but I have decided that it will probably hold the diapers and that's about it. As of right now every thing we have accumulated is piled in the crib. Jord and I thought we better cram our little basement just a little more and add a cute dresser for all of the adorable clothes and shoes. We checked around a few places for dressers and wound up in my in-laws garage pulling out a well used little white dresser that had been in there for 14 years. Jord is a trooper and is always up for projects to make his wifey happy (he would have been content putting the clothes in a box). So we pulled it out and went to town! Although we both worked on it, let's be honest, he did the majority of it. It took quite a while to get the 3 layers of old paint off, sand it, glue it, build up chipped craters, and paint it - BUT we got it done in about 2 days! Jord even insisted on working on it on his birthday, but I have to admit it is pretty fun working on projects like that together.
Here is the before:

And the finished product!
