Just a quick peek for you.
A HUSBAND AN ANTIQUE AND A POST CARD aqua chest of drawers
George bought a little antique dresser last week and very
excitedly arrived home with it in his van anxious to show me.
Looking at it in the back of the van, I have to admit
I was perplexed because it looked nice as is.
I had assumed it was for me to work on.
He knows my motto
"if its not broke dont fix it"
but once I get closer I realized how short it was,
at about 27". We have been looking for a special
piece for ourselves to fit along a low window.
Now this started to make sense, however it also has
to be very shallow which this was not at 20" deep.
NOT GONNA WORK FOR US
i love you george
I have been toying with the idea of turquoise
and now I have to come up with a plan to refurbish
the thing. Of course the first thing was
to put some casters back on it to give it a bit more
stature. Then George shows me some repairs that it
needed. The insides of the cabinet and drawers
definitely would benefit from attention. The top
surface varnish was bubbled all over.
Okay this is sounding better, I like to be needed.
But I didnt have a clear vision and it was sitting in the middle of my work space and something
had to happen. The top couldnt be painted without being stripped.
If I have to strip it I want to stain it dark walnut. Thats a start! That will go with turquoise.
So I removed the top to take outside to do the dirty work.
When removing it I found something, half a post card stuck
between the frame and the top.
