37 Weeks 0 Days: Clean Your Room

Over the course of last weekend and this weekend I built a piece of furniture to store the baby's clothes in. I don't know what to call it. It's not really a dresser. I guess it's a hutch of some sort. I had the basic box already built as something I was going to use for a place to put work clothes and to have somewhere to put my wallet, phone and the little tools I keep on me at work every day. I like to put things in the same place every day so I don't forget them. I never finished it so I used that. Then I had made some built in cabinets in a customers hallway a while back but the door I ordered originally didn't fit right so I kept those and ordered new ones. There was one shorter door and one taller door. To my surprise the shorter door fit perfectly on the front. So I made a drawer because I had some drawer tracks lying around the garage and put the door on, put a little trim on it, added a shelf, painted it with some high gloss paint and now we have some baby clothes storage. It's not perfect. It was so cold in the garage when I painted that the paint took a really long time to dry so there are some drips dried into the paint. Even trying to do a light coat, with the paint taking so long to dry it gave it that much more time to drip. I put a space heater on it and it helped a little. But it's sturdy as hell. It's all 3/4" material, even the drawer. It's no Ikea dresser that will fall apart in a matter of months. This thing is a tank.
