07 Oct Smokey Sideboard Sometimes I get myself into projects that I'm just not sure how to proceed, perhaps biting off a bit more than I could chew. That's how this waterfall sideboard felt. I knew I could deal with most of its physical problems and I could figure out the missing veneer issues, but I made a rookie mistake...I bought it from a smoker. So not only did I have to go into her house to get it becuase she was wheelchair bound, but I had to get the kitty litter out of the drawers and try not to

01 Oct Its a woman's perogative to change her mind I have to admit I'm having some doubts about a project I'm working on. This summer I purchased a set of 6 early 1900's quarter sawn oak t-back chairs from an antiques who was going out of business. I got them knowing they needed work. They were pretty wobbly and the chair seats were split underneath the part where the cushion goes. Hubby even got me a new saw to cut the new seats for them. (I think he's excited to have an actual table and chairs in our dining room after living here for

24 Sep A sweet little cabinet. There is something about a record cabinet that I find appealing. I'm no audiophile, and in fact with two little girls making noise all day I prefer to work in the silence when I get the chance, but there is something so sweet about these little cabinets. My favorite part of this lovely record cabinet are two small cups in the top drawer designed to hold record needles. It is a nod to its origins, even if it winds up being used as a side table or a wine cabinet. I found this one at a garage
