Ikea dresser for nursery

Brian and I are really enjoying getting the nursery ready for baby to come home.  We are almost done!!  We still have some finishing touches left so I'm not ready for a full reveal yet, but I can't hold everything in any more.  I have to give in somewhere.  So I will show our Ikea dresser fix up.  We have the Ikea Hemnes changing table so we were planning on getting the Hemnes chest to go with it but come to find out it is 5" too wide for our space.  So we ended up with the cheaper Malm which we already have in our bedroom.  We know it is a sturdy dresser and can fit a ton of stuff in the drawers so it is not the end of the world.  But it's not very cute.  So today we took care of that problem. 
                                                         Here's our boring dresser. 
Here's Brian hard at work , very much a perfectionist.  See the 2 levels?  One is never enough.
And VOILA!!

Now we've got pink handles!  We also changed out the handles on the closet door and on the changing table.  Glad we painted the room yellow because we knew everything else would be pink :)
Fun right?  Yay for progress!
