With a last spurt of the spray gun the shelf for the French Provincial buffet was complete, but not content with sitting on her bottom Kelli had something else up her sleeve.
A drive to Drenthe to collect another piece of furniture. When we got to the house there was this thing waiting on the driveway.
I have seen exhumed coffins in better condition than this piece.
“It will be great, it has lots of character” a well used term to mean “You will have a lot of work ahead to turn this heap of crap into something“.
We loaded it into the truck, cobwebs and all, it was old, possibly early Tutankhamen, we will have to check if there is a preservation order on it.
We got back, still no mattress, apparently it is still resting in Chicago due to delays caused by Covid. There must be a bloody mountain of backlog, with no delivery date in sight.
We also finished the smaller dresser that I had cut down, production through Bristol Cottage is stepping up, I hope so, the garage is full of stuff, and we’re expecting two private commissions, one is a dresser for refinishing, the other is a dining table.
Another Lifetime to go
