sneak peak and an honor

it's been busy around here

but i wanted to pop in and give you a

sneak peak of my current project.

it's an old dresser, that once lived

in our closet, and before that

spent time in my parent's home,

in our next home it is going to be in the

kitchen, working double duty

as some extra counter space

and drawer storage.

it's not exactly an "island" since it won't be floating in the middle

of the kitchen like a traditional island but we'll call it that

anyway.

here's a sneak peak.

so far i am really happy with how it's looking.

still have some work to do, including

installing the butcher block top.

it's ikea's numerar and i love it. the color is great

and you can't beat the price.

it should be finished up by monday!

in other news i was excited to wake up today to learn

that holly from life in the fun lane

featured one of my nightstands today on her

fresh coat friday feature.

i have gained a lot of inspiration from holly and her whiteberry shop.

you should go check out her work, she's a talented lady!
