Day 194 : old dresser

I love this piece of furniture. I love that you can see the years on it. It's cracked and worn. It the kind of thing I would love to keep, as is, in my living room. But, alas, that is not what is intended for. I spent the weekend striping it of it's years and applied a primer and several coats of paint to it. Now it is pretty and new.

I liked it old, but this piece of furniture is not for me. It's now in my little girls room. My little girl, who day by day, becomes less little. It sits beside the old bed, that has also been made new for my girl.

I like the furniture old, but now I love it looking new, because it's for my not-so-little girl.
