The thrift stores continue to have slim pickings both in furniture and the small stuff Kelli has been successful selling.
Every morning though it seems there are notifications of more sales, great to wake up to.
So far this month they make up over 24% of our total sales this month, within a hair of what we planned for. This really takes pressure of the furniture, and at the moment that is a relief.
The large entertainment centre that we bought a couple of weeks ago is certainly a challenge.
Since I removed all the embellishments I found that it had been cobbled together from different pieces of furniture. A lot of the panels were held together with brad nails, bloody hundreds of them, so in the process of pulling them out, things started to move. The base was part of some other piece that wasn’t connected to the top half. I found that out when I tried to move it.
Today I started to rebuild it, strengthening it with new timber and gluing together all the loose bits.
I know it will look good when it is completed.
