I know, I know. I haven't finished my last project. I haven't finished posting about the treehouse. I have a few other projects in different stages of thought or process. This is just how I work. If this bothers you, you might have an issue with my blog. Just putting it out there! (As rantsfrommommyland.com puts it: 'this may not be the blog for you if...').
So today was mild, sunny and beautiful, which means get outside while you can. And if you can be outside while doing a project....
score!
As I mentioned before, we moved my mom to a new home this summer, and a lot of furniture had to go. Some came home with me, and you'll see more of those later.
But today, since it was so pretty out, I pushed this
from the basement, through the garage, to
almost outside. This hutch had been in our house growing up, then my mom's house, then my sisters, and now it's found a home here. Since the paint on it contains lead, I took precautions:
It's going to be quite a project. I'm using very course sandpaper at this point (60 grit) and it's still taking a lot of elbow grease. But so far, it's very interesting to see what's behind the painted finish:
Hopefully I'll be able to figure out what types of wood are in the doors, as there seems to be quite the variety so far!
I can't wait to have this in my dining room. It's such a fun piece, and has a hidden secret I hadn't seen before. Stay tuned!
