So if you’ll recall, I have a vision for Holden’s big girl room: an Alice-in-Wonderland-esque vision. We’ve started working on the room to prepare eventually for Holdy’s big move. (I’m planning on keeping the new baby in my room for a bit, so our deadline is not hard-and-fast when Gatsby arrives in March, but I’d like to be prepared.)

The first step in the big girl room process was refinishing a dresser and nightstand we found for $30 at a yard sale. To be clear, my only contribution to this process was spray painting the handles. But they look damn good.

The dressser, before:

“We” sanded:

“We” primed:

I picked the color: Valspar Pink Burst (isn’t it, though?)

I painted the handles (with Valspar White High-Gloss Spray Paint):

And voila:

More to come from the big girl room, including before-and-after wall paint photos!
