So it looks like we may be SOL with the dresser that Jake has been trying to refinish. He did a great job stripping it, but he has already put three coats of stain on it and it’s not nearly as dark as it should be. So I did some Googling and found out that pine does not stain well, and that it looks best in light or medium colors. We’re trying to match it to our crib stain, which is essentially an espresso color. As a last resort, Jake went to Home Depot yesterday to try to buy some paint that matches the crib stain. I personally think that it will look like crap painted, but he wants to try it so we’ll see. We may have to go shopping for a dresser now, which we were not counting on. I’m almost wishing we had purchased a white crib because it would have been easier to match up with. Jake also started patching holes in the wall in the baby’s room and he bought primer, so we’ll start painting the room soon. I can’t believe I have like 8 weeks left. That’s insane.
