‘allo and good morning. I (the fabulous Mz Berlin) woke up at 7 this morning. I’ve been getting up earlier and earlier. It’s good for me. I’ve been getting more done.
I’ve finished the dresser I was working on.
The inside (including the interior of the dresser itself!) is painted a vibrant semi gloss pink varnish and the complete outside, the rails inside the dresser, and edging of the dresser is painted a matte red. It really turned out well. I’m ordering some stencils this week, as well as some nice paper (I think it’s called oil cloth or oil paper? People use it to line drawers and cabinets, before contac paper or whatever became popular.)
TMS surprised me with faceted glass knobs from restoration hardware. They were the perfect size and shape. And the front is flat, so I can do some glass painting later, maybe do a subtle fleur-de-lis on the front of each.
I’m feeling really motivated in the redecorating department. Partially because I know that I’ll be moving soon and partially because I have so much more room because of the futon.
Here’s a pic of my new motivational and yoga tolerant futon.
