Chester Drawers

Do you ever hear a word and think it's one thing only to find out later that the word you've been using for YEARS isn't the word at all???  That was me!  As a child, putting my clothes away in my chester drawers, was a weekly chore.  It's embarrassing to admit that about 10 years ago, while I was immersed in a book, I ran across this word...chest-of-drawers.  WHAT??  What was that??  Did that just say CHEST-OF-DRAWERS?  Could it be related to CHESTER??

And again...you know the old bedtime prayer:

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Ifishodi before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take Amen

Well, I had another one of those moments at the tender age of 12 when I suddenly realized that "ifishodi" wasn't a word at all...that all along, I was praying "IF I SHOULD DIE"!  I think I stopped saying that prayer after that :)

Back to Chester...here he is before and after the ol' paint sprayer got a hold of him




Before



Slapped a coat of this heavy duty primer on



using my new paint sprayer and air compressor that my daddy gave me as a gift (ok, so I'm weird like that...I LOVE TOOLS!)

There he is!!  Isn't he looking handsome!!  I love the new hardware!  Master bedroom is ALMOST complete!
