Camping in your Living Room – You can pitch your tent in your living room, or just roll out those sleeping bags. Bring any other soft creature comforts like pillows or blankets. If you have a fireplace you can roast marshmallows and make s’mores. If you don’t have a fireplace you can roast your marshmallows over candles. Just make sure you are supervising your children well for that one. Keep the lights low or off and break out those lanterns. You can go the extra mile and buy a glow-in-the-dark map of the constellations and tape it to your ceiling so you all can fall asleep under the stars.
Instructions: Our first job is to take off the old fixtures. Don't throw them out, though. You may find a use for them with another project in the future. Our second job is to prep our dresser drawer for painting. There isn't much you have to do when refurbishing old furniture; taking a piece of sandpaper and roughing up the surface will do. Finally, we can start painting each individual drawer as a "suitcase." We chose earth tones for our colors. This is in keeping with the colors that were common and popular during the sixties, fifties, forties, and before.
