This might take awhile to cross off...

Slowly working on my dresser (which was on my 27 things to get done before turning 27 list)...it has a ton of paint to get off but so far my power sander is working through it well. I'm worried about the smaller grooves though. There's plenty of paint sticking to them and even hand sanding isn't really getting rid of it. Something I need to ponder for awhile.

Anyway, I know exactly how I want the finished product to look. I'm going to paint it a black color in a satin finish. I need a little sheen but I can't take glossy paint. Can't find the hardware for the drawer knobs anywhere but they were pretty bad anyway, so I'll have to replace those. I'm thinking these knobs in pink. I'm normally not very into pinks but this is so soft and has a barely pink but still pink quality to it. I want to line the drawers with some sort of paper but I haven't found anything I like yet. And for the top of the desk, a glassybaby in tutu and some fresh peonies. I'm all about the finishing touches.
