Thanks Grandpa

Many years ago, Ryan's grandpa made him this nightstand. He died a while before Ryan and I met, but had I met him, I think I would have liked him. Hello...maybe he would have even taught me to woodwork! It's an awesome nightstand & we've always used it. Though, the finish was never really our style.


So...I finally confirmed (probably 3 times) with Ryan that he didn't care if I painted it. And then I painted it. It took quite a few coats & I'm not sure I did that great, but it looks fantastic in T's room. The Liberty of London box I picked up fits perfectly. If she's anything like her brother, she'll have her fair share of junk to hide away in that box. Which makes me love it (and the lid) even more.

And, I love the little milk glass candlestick that I got a CAM. I flipped it over & voila, what a fun vase! I do have a second (it came in a set) and now I need to find another spot for it.
