Trash to Treasure

Yesterday I finally got around to packing the baby's hospital bag. While I was piecing together outfits that would be warm enough for her, I frantically realized we have NO baby pants! Well, we have some, but only 4 pair and they are ALL pink! Normally this wouldn't bother me, but every girl's closet needs a little variety!

So Alex and I went shopping, on the crazed hunt for baby pants. We made the drive to the mall and ended up getting totally sidetracked. We managed to create a perfect Build-A-Bear for Anna, though. We made a pit stop by The Children's Place and Alex picked out a super-nice pair of lined jeans for the baby. I was so proud! It's so cute watching my husband shop for baby clothes!

Our baby now has pants.

On a different note, I went to my dad's house last week and noticed something that looked a lot like a very tall antique nightstand on his back porch. I went inside and demanded to know what it was, because it definitely looked like something I could repurpose... and he told me it was an old sewing machine that someone had left beside a dumpster.

My mind has been racing ever since-- what could I possibly do with this?



Suggestions? Let's hear 'em! I'm dying to do some sanding, staining, and painting!
