To Addi from Daddy...

We were in need of some extra storage for all of Addi's things, but we didn't really have a lot of room in the nursery with the crib, changing table, bookshelf, and her rocker/glider. David thought it would be a good idea to put a small dresser with drawers in her closet AND he really wanted to use his childhood dresser.

So we ventured over to D-ma's house and picked up the dresser...

David was convinced he could refinish it and it would look brand new. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical, but David had his heart set on passing down his dresser to Addi.

So he purchased a few materials and got to work...

He took the hardware off and sanded down everything.

I wasn't sure he was going to be able to sand off all the trim work, but everything cleaned up nicely.

Then after a few coats of bright white paint and some new hardware, here is Addi's new dresser...

And it fits and looks great in her closet.

The before and after pictures are quite amazing!!!

David also wrote a very sweet little message inside the cabinet and I can't wait until she sees it and reads it one day.
