The Baby Dresser

My parents received a baby changing table/dresser when they were expecting their first child. They used it for all their children; and weird enough to think about but my diapers were even changed on this table. Well, this dresser was handed around the family, used by a lot of my aunts for their children, and then by my cousins for their children. Passed around and around, it even went to Germany and back. Finally my mom decided, now that she has grandchildren of her own, it needed to come back to the family. So it came back, still sturdy and good but very used and worn. Kent and I decided to refinish it and replace the broken handles. So we took it out to the porch and sanded away. Anna decided she wanted to help sand too and actually did a pretty good job for a 1 year old. After sanding Kent primed, painted, repainted, sanded, and repainted again to get it nice and shiny. We would not recommend using spray paint, it was hard to get and even shiny coat! After having to quickly open and close our door to prevent paint fumes from coming in and intoxicating a pregnant woman and toddler for a few days, the dresser finally dried. We placed cute new handles on, fixed all the wooden drawer sliders, moved it into the babies room and filled the drawers with newborn clothes. Yea, now we just need to fix the changing pad.
