On Wednesday, I found an apartment. A beautiful, sunny, close to work and town and places to walk the puppy apartment. But more importantly, an unfurnished apartment. I’m so excited to move in, but I don’t own much furniture of my own. Luckily, my whole family has been extremely generous and between my parents, aunt, and my boyfriend’s parents, it looks like I’ll have some places to sit and eat and sleep. Hurray!
So this morning I set to work getting my very kindly donated furniture ready to go. Here are the before pictures of the first three victims.
This is a six-board antique chest from my Aunt. It is so beautiful and I’m almost afraid to touch it. Still, there are a few watermarks on the top and I’d like to protect it from myself with a few coats of something just on the top. I think I’ll be able to take a few layers off the top and slap on a few layers of polyurethane:
And this table is going to be my new sewing machine table. It’s nice and big and there are some big changes ahead for it:
This bureau came from my boyfriend’s parent’s house. I love the way it looks but after years in my boyfriend’s childhood bedroom, it needed some love. After a morning at the hardware store and a few phone calls to my Dad, I think it’s nearly good as new and ready to a new look:
Stay tuned for the after photos.
