More drop-offs today, including a fantastic dresser that was FREE! This is the best kind.
Kelli worked her magic with the paint brush. I made a new top from an old maple headboard.
On the way to The Tin Roof we had to stop to get some handles. The Hobby Lobby is a regular place that we go to find furniture fittings. All we needed were three handles with five inch fixing centres. As we scoured the shelves, which had little choice, trying to find handles that met the specification was really difficult. I thought that five inch centres was a standard, but I wasn’t thinking about Chinese five inch centres that measured four and three-quarters. None were the size we needed. Things were desperate, the only option was a rope handle, so three of those ended up in our basket, and we even had to scrounge some fittings from other handles.
We fitted them once we got to the Tin Roof, and they looked a little different, they matched the paint effect with a nautical flavour.
We picked up another dresser that had been there a long time that Kelli wanted to repaint, so flexing my muscles hauled it into the truck.
Another Lifetime to go
