one man's trash...

one of my friends offered me a piece of furniture that she no longer wanted. she told me that if anyone could find a use for the gently used hutch it would be me because i'm crafty. flattery, a price tag of FREE, plus delivery?! how could i go wrong?

the piece sat in my storage shed for a few weeks awaiting some very special visitors -  mom and dad. once they arrived i knew i could finally start work on my vision. mom volunteered to watch jackson so that dad and i could begin refinishing/re purposing. less than a day's work later and i had a nice new table in our dining room. 





dad sanded and varnished the top, i spray painted the body and legs of the table, dad reassembled and i did the decorating, mom kept jackson out of trouble. together we made a good team!

the hutch top (not shown) is still in our shed waiting for its turn to be made over.
