How has your weekend been? I had to cancel many of my plans as I had a bout of mennieres hit me like a ton of bricks but it gave me a chance for some much needed r & r anyway. Kaitlin seems to have my drive to upcycle and re-use and decided that this weekend she was going to makeover the lovely piece of furniture she scored as a give away this week.
For 2 X 18 year olds they showed great vision in rescuing this piece. They sanded everything and removed all of the sticky lining from inside the drawers.
Nathan was given the job of painting the exterior of the dresser whilst Kate concentrated on the drawers.
It took them all weekend but they finished it
and doesn't it look gorgeous?
As for me I just stoked the fire and relaxed with
my Kindle that I got for my birthday a few weeks ago. It truly is a remarkable piece of technology and I just love it.
I have corned beef in the slow cooker ready for our weekly Sunday night family dinner tonight so I had best go and make the cheese sauce.
Have a lovely week.

Wow! Kate and Nathan have done an outstanding job! I hope the bit of raunchy reading was the perfect remedy for that nasty mennieres
Wonderful job! I'm currently looking for bits of furniture for my nursing home and I would be very happy if I could get something like this.

Oh my gosh they did a wonderful job on that piece. It's beautiful!
Ok...this American has no idea what a menniere is. Is it a migraine headache?
Anyway, hope you are much better Fee. Such a fun birthday gift.

Its a beauty for sure - so who got to keep it? I know you will enjoy your kindle.

Your desk reminds me of my grandmother's I inherited and gave to my son many years ago. He had it restored last year...and is beautiful. Email me and I'll send you a picture of it! ♥♥♥
