Thanks Mom (Again!)



For whatever reason my mom took up furniture restoration when she retired. The retirement didn't last but the refinishing did. Right before Christmas my mom rented a van and drove in this beauty. Most of the stuff she refinishes was once covered in paint and she strips it down to the wood and makes it beautiful once again.

The desk is much nicer than the old Ikea table I bought when we were in DC and thus gets a coaster and a lot less junk. I think I need to find a new lamp and clock since these look a bit junky. As a bonus she brought in a chair that my dad had purchased to match.

Regardless, its beautiful and I'm so happy my mom picked up this hobby. Thanks Mama Joan!
