A.L.B

I have been self diagnosed with A.L.B.. It's a hard case of Annoying Little Bug, which is creativity. Combine it with A.D.D and I am pretty much ruined.  From what I know there is no cure and no medication that can fix it. Luckily the side effects are minor:  buying things that I don't need because I have a creative idea for it, digging through other peoples trash because I could use it to make something, or tearing stuff up in my house because I am bored with it and have a creative idea.  My husband doesn't seem to get too annoyed with it but does have worries that it could lead to hoarding! HA!  There may be a intervention already in the works.
 My latest project has been this old dresser that I am absolutely in love with.  I love the lines of it.  I love the wheels on the feet.  I love that I only bought it for a dollar at a yard sale! 
But I am kind of stuck on it right now.  I am wondering if I want to keep the dresser a flat white and distress it or if I want to paint it some funky color and distress it?  I just don't know.  So I'm stalled on this project.  There are two drawers missing from it so I plan to make those into shelves and put a couple of decorative storage baskets to keep my hoarding organized.
Pin It The design on the drawer fronts, I found online and turned it into a stencil and I am craazy about it!  Now to figure out what to do with the body of my furniture.... hmm..

So Cool Betsy! Cool hardware and baskets for the drawer areas would be perfect! Hobby Lobby has all of their baskets 50% off this week! BONUS!Decide whether to distress depending on the baskets finish...
