optimus prime.

i spent today transforming some pieces for my dressing room with primer.

see how i did that?  

get it?

cuz optimus prime is a transformer and i used primer to... nevermind.

anyways, i had these cool jewelry racks from urban outfitters 
just randomly hanging in the front bedroom...



and i want to move them into my new dressing room, but they're blue and yellow.





so i painted 'em.


well i spray painted them. with primer.  
who knows what color they'll end up! 

the suspense is KILLING YOU.  

then i set my sights on this poor soul:


the yellow monster.  

i found this dressing table in the barn years ago and hauled it into the apartment.  
i actually made good use of it in all of its urine colored glory.  

it's a pretty good piece, i think it was billy's moms.  
it's definitely old because it weighs a flippin' ton.

but alas, it's high time this poor fella had a makeover.


i know.  
tuck and i need makeovers too.  
give us some time, people.

i got new knobs for the drawers at home depot and they're really cool, i'm excited about them.
i am going to leave this piece just antique white like the room, 
but i'll probably rough up the edges a bit to give it a worn look.

that's all for today!

Hey, Megatron. I'd say you're in all out nesting mode. ;) At least you're not balancing your preggo self on a small teetering step stool, trying to paint your hallway ... I mean, WHO would do THAT at 9+ months pregnant? ;)

Omg Meg, have you seen the hardware from Anthropologie. . .they have the CUTEST knobs! I have a desk I want to sand and paint that the owners of our house left behind and I stare at their hardware section like every day.
