Metal Cabinet II

 
The second metal cabinet is finished.  The best place for it is in our laundry closet where it stands beside the first cabinet (which has a clothes hamper built in).




There's a lot of good storage in this one!  Rebecca lined the shelves with leftover wall paper and is busy filling it with a sewing basket, a box of craft paints, etc.  "Before Picture", here.

Table Talk

Thanks to Lynn and Donna I am now working on a Duncan Phyfe table that was in their attic.  I have taken the finish off 3/4 of the top.  I lightly scraped much of the finish off the top.  The finish was old enough to come off fairly easily.  It will sand up very nicely.  Thank you L & D.

September Projects

Found at an estate sale yesterday for $2.50.  There is a lot of rust...but I THINK I can turn this out to be a good-looking metal cabinet!

 Another project already in motion.  A friend found this chair on a trash pile and picked it up for us!

I guess we have a reputation.

 I'll need to recover the seat.

This object (don't know what to call it) was on a trash pile several months ago when my wife and I were enjoying a housewalk.  She saw it and we loaded it up--not sure what to do with it.  Yesterday we saw it in a decorating book at Borders standing elegantly in the entrance hall of an 18th century home!  After painting it (it's only primed in this photo), we'll look for a piece of glass to put on top of it.
