before and after



on a recent stop into goodwill I came across this little cutie.....for $7.99!

just waiting for some love



a little sanding, some wood filler (my first time!), some leftover paint, some new pulls and isn't she adorable!



perfect for the spot right at the top of the stairs.....now I just need to accessorize the top

when it's not piled high with legos and nerf guns

do you see my swatch of paint in between the light switch and door....it's not as yellow in real life, but that's my new color for the upstairs hall

it's the darkest area of our house, so it will bring a lot of light into the area - now I just have to get to painting it

(my house is looking very beige in this photo)
