Furniture Re-Do

Okay, friends and family, I need more help! (Do I ask for it too much? I just value my loved ones opinions :)

I know all of you are super creative, especially my sisters-in-law, mommy, and lady friends, so I need some ideas.

When we first moved, I got a dresser and nightstand off of Craigslist for baby's room ($25 dollars for both.... seriously). They were a bit dated and needed some definite cosmetic work, but I saw potential with a little paint and elbow grease.

I took off the (yucky) hardware and removed the chunky and over the top PLASTIC (?) molds from the outside, and have since gone to work filling in the holes and chips, sanding, and priming the smaller nightstand.

If you remember this post, I was hoping to go for a darker green color for them, but I just haven't been able to find a paint color that feels right. Also, the more I realize how much time we will be spending in that room, the more I feel like a brighter and cheerier color scheme will be better. Everything else like bedding and the crib will be pretty neutral, so I want to give these puppies some color :)

At this point, I have been drawn to blues and reds, but I am really open to anything. Also, I am hoping to do both the big and little piece the same color, mostly because I am a cheapo and don't want to go crazy spendy in the paint section.

For blue, I love these:

And reds, these:

At this point, I don't have anything decoration-wise for the room, so I am just gonna let the color of them lead me in whatever direction they will. As you can see in the first picture, our walls are a tan/brown color (maybe a little darker than they look) and can't be painted, so we have to work with that.

Also, can you tell I am the most indecisive person in the world? I realize that these choices are all over the place.

Any ideas? Opinions? Suggestions?

Thank you!

Thoughts on First Tri Part Deux

My first hamburger in four months... Soooo yummy

I am going post-crazy today, but I left out some things from the last one (that was super long-winded... apologies).

The creme-de-la-creme.

The Foods That Are Oddly Delicious and Satisfying, Even When You Feel Like Your Insides Are Trying to Become Your Outsides (some suggestions provided by sisters-in-law, mothers, and friends):

-Frozen grapes (green sour ones)

-Fudgesicles

-Popsicles in general (try to get real fruit ones for some nutritional value)

-Pudding

-Chocolate milk

-Lemonade (Simply Lemonade tastes like Chick-Fil-A's to me... sooo delicious)

-A little bit of caffeine free soda, even if you don't usually drink it. Coke was pretty delicious.

-Pretzels

-Frozen yogurt

-Smoothies

-String cheese

-Citrus in general. Grapefruit juice is really tart, but makes the yonks go away. At one point I was eating straight lemons, and they were amazing.

-Macaroni and cheese

-Cereal... I was really into Honeycomb and Honey Nut Cheerios

-Vanilla Greek Yogurt

-Baked potatoes (plain or with sour cream)

-French fries (not healthy, but they will keep you full for a little while)

I am sure there are lots of other things that I am forgetting. I really wasn't into hot foods, but I know everyone is different. Hopefully, this will help someone in the future. Much love!
