What have I been doing?

Lately I have had a few projects in the works. I have been busy refinishing furniture, which I have decided I really am enjoying. A couple months ago we found a bed and a 2 drawer dresser at the D.I. and got them for next to nothing. My thoughts for these two items were for the bed (headboard & foot board) to sand down and stain with a darker stain. For the 2 drawer dresser, I spray painted it black and have it in our front room, for Karlee's books, and toys. Another project that I have had for oh... the past year and a half is my FREE cedar chest that I picked up on my way home from work when we lived in Louisville, KY. It has been in our garage taking up space and not really getting much better. I have been telling Rob that it would be my next project. Just this past week I finished the cedar chest, and I am really pleased with it. Here are some pictures of all my projects.
