We (yes, C helped 🥰) painted it in a matte finish paint in the @sherwinwilliams color Monorail Silver, the perfect blue-gray shade I was hoping for. After it was dry, I took some sand paper to the edges to give it a more vintage feel and also swapped out the knob. Now, time to organize and fill those baskets! 🧺

Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work.
