A Bathroom Makeover (on a small scale) and a Furniture Build

We've had a warm spell here and it's been like in the 50's so I've gotten spring fever! I decided that it was time to paint my bathroom cabinet. It's original to the house and has seen lots of use and "love". Of course I was so excited that I forgot to take a before I started picture but here's one before I painted.



Next time maybe I should clean out under the sink before I take a picture :)

Then I primed and painted the first coat on one day and then the next day I did the other sides of the cabinet doors.. That's the bummer about doors you have to do both sides. Then I glazed them just like my kitchen cabinets. Then we put polyurethane on them and waited for them to dry. It was really stinky and I should have probably waited until we really had good weather but it was worth it! Here's how it turned out!


We've also been working on nightstands. We've been using a round side table and a square side table for a few years and they worked pretty good. The thing I didn't like was I didn't have a place to hide all my stuff like scriptures, journal, church manual, and normal stuff. So We've been big fan of Ana White over at and found these farmhouse nightstands. We really liked them and were excited to try them out. Josh and Zach built these together and then Josh stained and finished them. They turned out so good don't you think?

(I'll put a picture in soon... Forgot to take one lol!)

Those turned out great! It's amazing the big change with just a little paint.

Homemaking 101

Does anyone else feel like it's time for a refresher course on homemaking 101? Maybe we should watch a few seasons of Leave it to Beave...
