#38 Redo an Old Piece of Furniture

I have been thinking about refinishing my old dresser for a while now.

I remember sitting on top of this dresser to spy on my parents outside.  It was a summer night when my sister and I were super young, so that meant bedtime before sunset.  I never wanted to be left out of the action and thought I was missing something…ergo the spying.  Harriet the Spy was my hero for some time.

Anyway, I remember my mom staining this when I was very young…therefore it was in need of some sprucing.

BEFORE! It’s nice…just not my style and doesn’t match what I’m planning for the bedroom decor

AFTER!!

We sanded it lightly and then applied a simple white-wash stain.  It was so easy and quick because it isn’t meant to look perfect…which was super hard for Doug and I to accept.  We found some new knobs at The De-Pot…The Home Depot.  We love how it turned out and can’t wait to see what it looks like with everything else in room…eventually.

#99 Start A Blog

Maybe I had already set up this blog before I actually started making the 101 in 1001 list…but I didn’t actually add any real content until now.  So, I don’t consider this cheating 🙂  I have been an avid blog reader for a couple years now.  Once I discovered the blogging world, I couldn’t leave.  I fell in love with the community, the imaginative thoughts and ideas, and the support from readers and other bloggers.  I then had to figure out a name, which was much harder then deciding to start a blog.  Eventually, BreadButterGlitter popped in my head.  Bread for my love of all things carbilicious…Butter for my love of baking…and Glitter for the obsession I’ve had since 6th grade.

I wanted to cover a couple topics, maybe adding more as my life changes.

101 in 1001: A list of 101 tasks to be completed in 1001 days

Oven Loven:  New recipes…mostly baking, but hopefully some actual cooking which I currently hate but would love to well…love

Pin Twin: Taking something off Pinterest and turning it into a reality

Humble Abode: All about my mission to make our house look like a girl actually lives here

In addition to these topics, I want to be able to share everything…well almost everything…of my life…my travels, renovation projects, random thoughts.  I think it’s going to be fun.

#101 Finish This List

I thought that this task would be the easiest of them all…not so much.  By the time I reached #60ish, I was seriously struggling for ideas.  My goal was to come up with a list that I would actually be able to finish but weren’t things that I did everyday or have ever done.  It took me a month…no joke, and this is coming from a girl who obsessively makes lists.  You guys should start a list and let me know what some of your big goals are.  Good Luck!
