    Here is what I have accomplished this week. I plan on getting started on the dresser and little nightstand this weekend and should have it finished by the end of next week. I am going to end up painting it instead of staining it because of the two different tones of wood that were used in the construction of the desk. It's not that I wouldn't like it, but it wouldn't work with the stuff that is already in the room that I can't change. Any tips on painting or the type of paint to use?

    I wish I had taken a picture of the desk before I started but I forgot. I will definitely do it with the dresser. BTW, the last pictures I took were just after I did a light sanding on it to smooth it out a little and knock down some of the high points where there was still paint that didn't strip off the first time. I still need to air hose it off and then wipe it down really well. We are going to be painting the furniture some shade of brown to match the rest of the room. I thought as a nice detail I might paint the vertical grooves on the legs and the horizontal trim (the center part of it) around the top and in between the drawers the same blue that is already on the walls. I'll post a pic of that in a minute, I think I have one on my phone. Let me know what you think!

    Here are a few crappy pics from my cell phone. I am going to see if the wife will send me some that she took last night. There is still much work to be done and you are only seeing about half the room right now. I will post those up as soon as I get them.

    Here are better pics of the room. There is some store bought stuff in here and some custom stuff done by my wife, mom and grandma. There is still a little painting to be done and the crown molding will be going in sometime in the near future.

    I could make it all the same color, that's why I get paid the big bucks. :)
