Long story short (because I have some crazy "Craigslist stories" to go along with this) I , after losts and lots of searching, found a beautiful piece of furniture!

Now, keep in mind I was searching for a versitile piece that she can use for her baby (as a changing table) , toddler, maybe even in her room as a teenager. You'd be surprised how this color looks paired up with an assortment of different colors!

 I also invisioned mom being able to use this piece in her home. I love how unconventional pieces of furniture look as media storage, Television stand, a staple in a mud room, or even as a buffet at a dinner party...

With so many uses I invision my friend to LOVE her gift.

I did, however, miss my deadline. Her baby shower was last saturday.

I didn't show up empty handed. I went and bought some much needed essentials . She already knew what I had planned for her and she expects it to be great. So, it's okay.

Well? Are you ready to see the before?

I think that's the best part.

It was actually a great piece to begin with, great lines, details , and very solid. 

The only downfall was a couple loose drawers, broken hardware, and a dated 70's-ish yellow (that HAD to go!)

Here she is: the cause of my 4 day stiff neck , sore back and shoulders, and all around grief.... 

ahhh...my favorite thing : Before and After's
