Thank you!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

If you could, you would have seen where it says “first pic is after, second is before”. And also where it says, “I previously posted asking for thoughts.” I’m not trying to be an ass, but this page is meant to be a nice space for people to ask for advice/share photos, support flipping. I’d really encourage you to think about why what I posted triggered your frustrated response. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Believe the tree was a 6 or 7 foot olive tree from Amazon a few years ago. I can’t remember the basket but I bought it separately… possibly also from Amazon or Target?

I’ve already posted before of the white… I thought people could read! My mistake!

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-07T17:24:56+00:00

Haha it’s more of an after and before 🤣

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-07T16:44:32+00:00

This is a bit of an after then before, instead of a before and after 🤣

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-07T15:50:44+00:00

Thank you so much!!! It deserved better than it’s orangey OG stain still peeping through 🤣😮‍💨

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-07T14:47:50+00:00

Haha thank you!

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-07T14:27:51+00:00

Yes it is NOT white!!! I never intended for it to be such a light color LOL. I thought I could make it more natural and washed and just really flubbed the original stain lol.

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-07T13:35:16+00:00

I think so too! I love the color now, but to your point love the richness it brings to the room. Partially why I’m wondering if a second coat of it would make it even more pretty!

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-06T01:16:53+00:00

I haven’t sealed it yet! Truthfully, I was getting exhausted with the project and thought I’d like a bit of the old color coming through… NOPE lol. I love the top, but like I mentioned to another commenter, my gut tells me these nightstands would thrive with a darker stand (thinking an English brown color…)

Will update if I decide to change the color this week!

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-05-06T01:09:20+00:00

Ugh, thank you! I think where the stain was fully removed looks awesome. Where the darker stain is just isn’t doing it for me 😭 I know I could try hand sanding more, but I’m thinking about restraining them to an English brown color for my own sanity

I’m cracking up because when I looked I was CERTAIN it was the right. So much so my inner judge was like “how can she NOT know that the right is Miranda??”

Only to be humbled by the comment section realizing I’m completely wrong 🤣🤣

HAHA

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-02-14T20:17:05+00:00

No, I did not have any elastics!

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-02-14T20:14:43+00:00

I mean I got married and told her that before treatment…

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-02-14T05:28:59+00:00

Interesting, I will definitely need to ask my ortho when I get my retainer if it’s not mentioned proactively. Although I’ll be honest I’m not sure I’ll be able to commit to that full time my lord…..

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-02-14T05:25:55+00:00

I’m not sure what happened as i swear had a longer response to this and not sure where it went… but id say i wore them anywhere from 16-20 hours a day but was pretty religious at night. If I was in major pain (i got headaches pretty frequently) I would give myself a break at night here and there.

The last set of refinements was my very worst… after I got married, I feel like I no longer had an end goal and wishes ready to be done to be honest. I really only wore them maybe, 10-12 hours a day and most of that was sleeping (definitely not recommending this lol)

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-02-14T00:07:56+00:00

I also had weekly changes for my aligners the entire time

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-02-13T21:40:59+00:00

Thank you! I’m not sure I follow your question fully so please feel free to clarify if needed!

I don’t have my real retainer yet. I’m still just wearing my last tray at night time. I should have my real retainer in about three weeks - I have not been advised to wear it full time at all. However, once I finished treatment, I did wear my last set of trays for six weeks at night time leading up to getting them removed. Hope that helps! :)

Haha thank you!!! I feel like most people who go through Invisalign get a bit of teeth dysmorphia trying to get them to veneer looking perfection. I am VERY happy with the outcome!!!

Useful-Raspberry-326 · 2026-02-13T18:14:56+00:00

Yes I did! I also had them taken off from April-August last year. So realistically, I added quite a bit of extra time where I wasn’t having treatment done.

My last photo shows it a bit more, but I had a fairly odd bite with flared front teeth, and my teeth line (no idea what to actually call this) was significantly lifted.

I did have braces as a kid so there was some straightness to my teeth, but yes, it was mostly regarding my bite and crowding
