It’s official. We can now park two cars in the garage. Normally we have only been able to fit one car in this two and a half car garage. And for a few months it has been so crammed full of stuff that had been cleaned out of the attic and basement that you couldn’t get any cars into it at all. This week I took a huge load to the Goodwill and today I put a pile of stuff out with our trash pick up and there is now room for both cars. One of the things that was taking up space was this dresser I found for $15 at a thrift store. I was planning to put it in one of the kids rooms. On a whim I decided to go ahead and paint it and get it out of the garage. I originally was planning to clean it up and do a good job and maybe add some artsy detailing, but since I was in a hurry I opted for a light sanding and a few coats of spray paint. I am surprised by how much better it looks with color, but I am a little disappointed that it looks very burgundy instead of red. I need to bring it into our indoor lighting and see if that helps. If not, I might just have to go back to the original plan and call these coats of paint the primer.
