Painting the roses red...

Over the weekend I decided to start a project. And I finished it!! I can't believe I finished it. Well, it's Sunday night and all I have left is the final clear finish, but hey, all the work part is done! Travis' aunt Sarah gave us two night stands that have been in the family for a long time and I have 4 kids so I can use all the furniture anyone wants to give. Anyway, I had the boys' room a red and blue theme at the old house and wanted to continue it here. Mainly because that is what I already have and because I like it. I wanted to paint the night stands red with a little distressing. It was so much easier than I thought and I think the first one came out great. I still have the other one to do. ;-)

Here is an up close of the distressing I did. It wasn't much, I am sure the boys will distress it more for me!
The whole time I was painting I kept thinking of the song in alice in wonderland... painting the roses red....
