“ You can never too many cushions” was Kelli reply to my question as we visited the third address to pick up even more of them.
The day started by delivering the dresser to a condominium in Holland Heights.
We off loaded it into the garage while the lady inspected it.
“ Are these marks caused by wear and tear?” She said pointing at the distressed areas that kelli had sanded back to give the fashionable look.
We explained why we did it, but because we gave her a paint sample she could re-touch up the areas herself if it bothered her.
When we were leaving, we noticed a dresser in the garage that the lady wanted to sell, now that she had the one we delivered.
There was a bit of bartering, but we got it for a reasonable price, the problem was, we had to go and collect a freebie in Zeeland. It was agreed that we would return and pick it up.
Off we drove to Zeeland and pulled up outside the back door of the house with the dresser.
Straight away we knew it wasn’t what we wanted, the style was more contemporary and was made from painted MDF. We have worked with this material in the past but it is not easy to finish the way we like, so we passed on it.
This meant that we could go back to the first place to pick up that dresser.
Once that was done Kelli informed me that we had a few collections to make.
The first place we stopped at Kelli walked to the front door and returned with a cushion.
The second address there were two more cushions in the porch.
The third place had another two cushions waiting for us, that is when I asked my innocent question “How many cushion do we need?”
I know it is fashionable to cover all seating with so many cushions that you can’t actually sit down, and when all the chairs are filled, you start on the bed, so many that it takes a long time before you can go to sleep.
