and it’s a bit overcast and dark and there have been sprinkles off and on.  I hope that makes it easier for kids who have had a gorgeous August at home here in Oregon!  Makes it hard for those of us who were counting on painting furniture outside today.  Take a break, hubby!

We worked on several pieces over the weekend but I only had one completely done to bring into the shop today.  Here it is:

Great size to tuck in lots of places

Funny story about how it came to be ours.  You could call it serendipity and the hubby and I chuckled when the previous owner used that word in our conversation.  We didn’t find anything at the garage sale next door to her but her dog initiated our conversation and she invited us to return in a couple of weeks for her sale.  Meanwhile I had scoped out the pile of treasure in her garage and mentioned my interest.  At her invitation we inspected the interesting legs peeking out of one stack and voila!  It was ours.

great details

a darling shaped top

stole my heart.  A few minor repairs, fresh paint and a bit of sanding renewed the beauty of this piece and now it can be yours!

Have a great week and enjoy the new school year, kiddos (and parents!)!!
