Sorry I have been a little MIA. We had showings each day this weekend as well as yesterday, so every time I have wanted to sit down and write I have been booted from the house! Sunday we spent the whole day at my parents while there was a showing, and had a nice lunch with my parents and friends. We were all exhausted, drove 45 minutes home, only to find out we had to leave in 30 minutes. Let's hope something comes of these showings soon!
Besides the showings, there was also a little bit of this going on...
That's right- the carnival was in town!!!! We took the kids last night and they had the best time I can remember them having at a carnival! Emmy said "the carnival is the best place in the whole west!" We live in the east of course, so not really sure where that comes from. Sawyer said it was his favorite place in the world! And we also came home with two new pet goldfish- both kids won!!! Emmy's fish is Ava, and Sawyer's is Freddy Chewbacca Bustamante. I hope they live.
So in between all of that I have managed to eek out a couple of projects. This dresser was a free craigslist find..
You will have to head over to
The DIY Club for the full tutorial of how I took it from that to this...
Head over there to read all about it, but I can tell you that I have a new found LOVE for Milk Paint! Love it!!!
Oh, and I want to mention that you can link up any DIY projects into the monthly party going on over there for TONS of prizes from our awesome sponsors, like Gorilla glue, Rockler, Dischangers, Dutch Boy Paints, Cutting Edge Stencils, Design Divas... and MORE!!!!

Your kiddos look like they are having a BLAST!!! Our fair is coming to town on the 15th of this month and we are so excited!!! LOVE the dresser, heading to the DIY club now to check it out :)
I'm intrigued by the milk paint. So no priming with this either?? Beautiful job on the dresser Cassie!
Those are such great pics!! Looks like tons of fun!
And the dresser looks really great! Nice job!
Good luck on your home sale. We've had that going on as well. Cute pics of your kiddos at the carnival!
I hope you get an offer soon! I'm sure that having to leave your house daily is getting old really fast! Love the pictures of the kids at the carnival :)

Cassie, it looks like you guys had a ball. thanks for hosting this linky.
Um, that dresser is gorg!! I mean, that may be the best thing I've seen you do so far! I've been really trying to find less expensive options for the chalk paint and have been looking into the milk paint! I'm about to hop on over to check out how you did this piece with the milk paint!
What fun pictures from the carnival! Sawyer and Emmy are having a ball! I love going to the carnival. Your dresser is gorgeous, Cassie! Wow! A real beauty!
Glad you had some fun family time at the carnival! Love the dresser. And it was free? How lucky! I love that milk paint in buttermilk yellow too. But I didn't realize that you didn't have to prime.
Your kids look so stinking happy! I seriously can't get over how cute your daughter is!!
My first time linking up! (Mine is the DIY tufted ottoman). Thanks for hosting, Cassie! I'd love to have you by for a visit!: www.fivedaysfiveways.com

I love the dresser. Now I want to try milk paint! Looks like you had some fun though in between showings ;)
What an awesome free find! Looks like everyone had a good time on those rides!
Lol! Emmy is funny! Love the fish names. I hope they live too. Fish never live very long in my house :( poor fish.
How do you find free stuff on craigslist!?!? How awesome are you! Great job :)
dresser looks very classy... : )
It sounds like the carnival was a SUCCESS! Good luck with all of the house showings, hopefully it will also be a success soon!
You have the happiest kids!
Sorry I missed the party. There hasn't been much furniture painting going on here, although I did start a couple of pieces today.....
Take care,
Lisa
How cute are the kiddies? I'm going over to check out your DIY post! :)
Oh Cassie, I feel for you. I remember going through the "showing" while I was pregnant and then had a new born. Prayers that it goes under contract soon going your way.
Cassie those pictures are too cute! And that is one classy dresser! I thought it was stained, but it was milk paint?! I need to check that out. :)
