It felt really swell to unload a bunch of furniture at Metal and Crate last week! That means we can move around in our basement garage again without facing an obstacle course! I was pleased how the ancient desk turned out...don't ask me to ever come up with that same color paint again, but i loved it! It's a blue...yet masculine. i especially like it with the stained top! A few other peices... a cedar-lined waterfall wardrobe, a chair, and an old chest of drawers that a friend wanted to get rid of, and i gladly took off of her hands! A bench I had got custom made for our children was not so easy to hand off!! I painted it a lime green...it would look nice in a toyroom or you could use it like we did at your dining room table. it has a little height to it so it brings them closer to the table and we would've had 3 chilluns sitting on it at once during a cetain stage of raising our family. Nostalgic? YES!
