While I love the character in all of the hand-me-down furniture Steve and I have collected over the years, it also means that nothing actually matches anything. This doesn’t really bother me because even if I woke up vomiting money tomorrow I wouldn’t necessarily want everything to match anyway, but there are a few items that I can’t help but give the stink eye to every time I walk by them. For example, Steve’s Ikea night stand that he got to take to college with him. This little guy has gone roughly from Shoreline to Southern California to Shoreline to Seattle to Idaho to San Francisco to Shoreline to Seattle. It’s still going strong, but it definitely needed a bit of a re-vamp. Using the leftover primer and paint from the dresser, I spray painted it to match.
