Quite a few months ago we were at an estate sale.
It was the last day and we had gotten a call from the party running the sale that we had won the bid on an item.
While we were picking up our piece of furniture, we were ask if we'd like to have this old, beaten, abused, table.
I looked at my #1, as he would have to be the one to fix it, and he said, "Sure!"
Unfortunately, I don't have the before picture, but the top was in pretty bad shape.
This week-end he fixed it up.
He got his heavy duty sand paper out and went to work.
I loved how it turned out!
It's a beautiful oak mission desk.
There were large spots on the table from the previous owner which ran too deep to get out.
But, you know what, I like them as it shows it's been well used.
Of course a new larger table means more decorating!!!
And if you're like me you can't get enough of that!
Let's just say, it wasn't hard to fill it up.
On a side note, I received a package in the mail today!
It was my new issue of Jeanne d' Arc Living Magazine.
I've only flipped through the pages but it looks wonderful.
I can't wait to sit down this evening and really look through it.
Hope you're having a beautiful Fall day!
