True Love




It's been a busy week here at the store. Furniture coming and going and coming and going, I'm really glad it's Friday. I don't really know why though, I work harder at home on my days "off"
than I do at the store!! I don't think I have mentioned on the blog, but for those of you that don't already know, I do most of the furniture painting myself and Prince Charming (aka-husband) does all of the repairing and rebuilding.


So a day off usually entails the usual laundry, clean the bathrooms, vacuum, dust (Yea , right!), pay bills, sand furniture, paint said furniture, sand said furniture again, stain or wax, and maybe sand said furniture again...you get the idea!!


Well this hutch is the latest project to be completed.
She needed a little TLC and and some minor repairs, but now She is ready to go to a good home. She boasts a gorgeous beveled mirror on top, and beautiful carving on her drawers and cupboards below. She vows to take good care of your precious linens and tarnished silver. She will be especially kind to your grandmothers china and would love to hold your cherished flatware. She had led a long rough life until now, but she would be soooo happy to go to new loving home!


A person truly has to Love this business to be in this business....and I am truly grateful to be doing something that I truly Love....I hope you are all as lucky, and have found your True Love.
