Foray into DIY

We were living a little ghetto with my new dresser sitting out on our front porch for awhile, but my singular accomplishment of Christmas Vacation 2008 was painting it. Hint for future DIY'ers: do NOT attempt to paint a dresser while it's standing vertically. Silly me. The paint will drip and leave marks. Yes, I realize taking the doors off would have been ideal, but they wouldn't come off. So, I sanded down the drips, and then laid the dresser on its back (hmmmm...that sounds crass!) and put on a few more coats with it lying flat. That seemed to do the trick, and I have to say, I'm pretty damn impressed. And I totally take back all the foot-stomping and cursing I did midway through the project.
