I just realized that there are 31 days in July. I mean, I KNEW that, but I guess I forgot about it this year. Imagine my surprise when I realized that today was not August 1st, like I had expected and planned all week long. It’s thrown me for a loop. You know what else? I wish we could just delete the month of August. It is my very least favorite. Don’t believe me? Come visit me in August sometime. You’ll feel the same way once you’ve spent all your money on popsicles, air conditioning, and reconstructive surgery after your face melts off.
C’mon FALL! Here are some dresser makeovers that have nothing to do with fall, but they are blue, so that kind of makes me think of cold, and hey, this one has a map on it, so at least I can dream of being somewhere in the world where August is pleasant! Like, say, anywhere else.
From Better After reader Kayla. So cute!
And this before dresser was so country, I half expect it to be chewing a piece of hay, but Kirsten brought out its adorable side with a blue and cream paint job and new knobs, and now it’s as sweet as a farmer’s daughter. I don’t think that is real phrase. See it on her blog Made For A King.

July 31, 2014 at 12:39 PMI also live in the valley…don’t you love how your electric bill goes from, like, $60 during the cooler months, to one million dollars during the summer? I really love the dresser with the map…would be great for a boy’s room.

July 31, 2014 at 1:09 PMHey! The white vintage dresser that became the blue map dresser is the same dresser I have in my bedroom! I am wondering where the artist found the replacement pull handles? I have been searching everywhere to update the hardware and can’t find any pulls that are 2″.

July 31, 2014 at 4:37 PMI for reals woke up this morning and thought it was Aug 31. Then I panicked because my sister’s birthday is Aug 30, and I didn’t do a thing yesterday for her. and then I felt like a total dork when she responded to my facebook apology with the fact that I was a month early for her birthday.
True story. I think it should be august NOW!

July 31, 2014 at 5:11 PMLove the maps…I am hoarding a map…waiting for the perfect project.
BTW, I am right there with you about August…I seriously dislike that month! So far we haven’t hit above 95 but we have the entire month of August to go. If humans hibernated, I would do it in July and August!

July 31, 2014 at 5:38 PMThe second dresser is lovely, but I actually like the “before” better on the first one. I like maps, but they just don’t do it for me here.
