One of Those Days

A few days ago,

I had one of "those days" at work.

So, when I got home,

I looked for some doll play time.

Or something to take my energy out on.

I had originally painted the display shelf a dark green

to match the wall shelf above it,

but it just didn't work for me.

Next, I tried a lighter green to match the trim

on the dresser. The problem was that I had painted

it years ago, and could not find the same color paint.

I tried to mix a few colors, but it didn't work, either.

It also didn't last long.

Finally, I painted it a vanilla white, which did not match

the off white of the other furniture.

So, a few days ago, 

I took out a coarse grain sandpaper and started sanding.

That was satisfying!

It also resulted in a pretty cool distressed look.

Now I have a new piece that so far,

I like, and seems to work with the dresser and the bed.

I love my new bedroom!

 Can we go out and play?
