Last weekend, we finally got the mirror attached to the dresser. I finally feel like it's complete and love how it looks.
Dan was the brains behind how to attach it. It took a while and was not without some frustration, but we (mostly Dan) got it done!
It cost about $27 for materials for all of this (all those bolts and screws, wood, metal things). $10 for the mirror and $58 for the dresser. For a grand total of $95 for a nice dresser and mirror. Not a bad deal, eh?
I'm excited because last weekend, I also finished some curtains for our bedroom. These were super cheap, $10 for both of them. I got the while material for $3 a yard and bought 3 yards. The red is left over from the duvet cover and I really didn't even use a dollars worth.
Please excuse the messy dresser. That's our old dresser and there is no where to put it for the time being. I don't want to get rid of it at the moment. I do like the style and would like to redo it at some point, for a future child's room, but the drawers need to be fixed. So we'll see what I end up doing with it.
Unfortunately, I have ugly blinds on the windows. I really want to get the thicker white blinds, I can't think of the name of them at the moment. We really don't know how long we'll be in this house and so I can't decide if it's worth it to buy new blinds on something that we won't be able to bring with us. We shall see...
I have sanded and painted the night stand I got for Dan. I still need to get knobs and stuff for it, so once I do, I will post pictures of it. It really looks nice and I'm so excited that our bedroom is finally starting to look nice! It's only been a year and a half since we moved in. Better late than never, right?
And last but not least, here is Anna. This little girl just loves boxes. She spent about 20 min. in this box on Sunday morning, just hanging out. It was so funny. As you can see, it's an old diaper box I was going to throw out, but she found it before I could and it has now become a toy. :)
