I recently had the opportunity to paint furniture for our friend's daughter, Katie. Katie was diagnosed with Leukemia just 6 weeks ago (to learn more visit
Katie's Place. ) Her parents have been working on redoing her room and picked up the cutest furniture. The only problem?It had previously been painted and glazed (too mature of a look for a 2 year old) and it all had brown laminate on top. Here's the befores...
Nightstand (see those cute legs)
Hutch
Dresser
Headboard, footboard and desk (not pictured). Katie's dad gave the room a beautiful coat of lavender paint and the bedding was white with purple butterflies. We decided the furniture should be a crisp white. Here's a few afters...
Can you see the knobs? They're from Hobby Lobby- light purple flowers that look like glass but aren't. Here's the nightstand- with a super cute lamp (not sure where they got it)
It was so fun to be a part of making Katie's space a little more special. Please keep her and the Eps family in your prayers- I truly don't know of a more deserving family. Love, Kelly.
These are so beautiful. I bet they look even better in person. I, for one, know the blessing of having furniture re-done by you. What a excellent gift. The power of paint to the rescue again!
ReplyDeleteThat was very nice of you. My boss's niece who is also 2 was just diagnosed this week with Leukemia as well. I will pray for both of them. I think any of us would go through the treatments for them if we could. So hard for a child to go through without fully comprehending all of it.
