Complete!

A little bit of the process:

 We did it! 

Our little project furniture piece is COMPLETE! Or at least for now. For this decade. Because, oh man, oh man, are we crap DIY-ers or what! Just kidding. ...Kind of. 

We had fun with this. But I am glad it's done. We worked on this little by little very slowly in our shed. Most nights it was after we had just laid Aleah down to go to bed.

We learned a few things in this process. One of those things being--DIY painting tutorials found on blogs through pinterest can be a little bit of trouble if this is all foreign to you. So, If you come across a cool fix up piece and are a total newbie to this kind of thing- ask a Lowe's expert for help (or someone who really knows their stuff and is willing to help you) instead of pinterest. We were helped by a nice girl at Lowes when we were buying paint and I'm glad she gave us her advice before we got ourselves in a mess.

This piece has its flaws. Just don't look too close. Its here to stay for a while though.

Even though it's not perfect, I still am pretty proud of it and excited about it. I think it looks very nice in our living room. :)
Now, what goes inside and on top?

It all started with a $10 Goodwill find.

The funny thing is that we hadn't gone thrifting together at Goodwill before then, and we haven't gone since then.

P.S. I apologize for terrible quality photos. Camera #2 still MIA.
