DIY

Over the past couple of years I have been following some blogs of very creative people. Generally this just made me feel bad about myself....till one day I decided that I too can DIM (Do It Myself!)
For my first attempt of creativity I wanted to do something that wouldn't require too much effort. So I started with ones that were already semi cute.

Here they are half way through the process. It's amazing what a bit of sandpaper can do (and a LOT of arm strength)

I asked for a sky blue paint but once painted it just looked white, which is slightly disappointing. But I love the way the drawers look, with the dark wood showing through.

TA DA! Guess which bedside table belongs to whom? Or it it who?


Next: A Headboard!!
(Mum this would be a great time for you to come visit)

Impressive! Brett and I are moving into our own apt this weekend! I'm hesitant to join the DIM club solely due to my lack of any artistic talent whatsoever but who knows! Congrats on the accomplishment!

Love 'em! You inspire me. Maybe I'll follow your lead and finally get around to re-doing our bathroom cupboards...
