Chase's Room

I finally got around to updating Chase's "big boy" room. I painted on Thursday (mostly while Cass was at preschool). On Saturday, we went shopping in Dad's basement and took my Mom's old childhood desk off his hands. I stripped the green & black faux finish she applied before I was born, sanded it all, and painted it. Chase picked out new hardware for it at Hobby Lobby. He also picked out fabric and the baseball accessories over the bed. I sewed all day yesterday (love the fringe I found 60% off at Hancock Fabric on a thread run) after church. This morning I made his headboard (that would be spray painted foam core) and put all the pictures on the walls.

I think this will age better than the baby blue & construction/cars/trucks thing he had going. He is THRILLED and so very proud of all my hard work. Mad props to my Dad for his hoarding tendancies. I make fun, but I've benefitted greatly from all my "shopping" at his place. And the desk is sturdy enough that Chase's grandkids may well be using it in 50 years...
