Home Improvements

Quick post.  Must dash off to pick up a dear one from the airport.  We're celebrating the anniversary of the end of prohibition tonight (I know, I know... I don't *really* need an excuse) so who knows when I'll get around to blogging tomorrow.

Made my deadline today AND made improvements to a piece of furniture.  What fun!  Bought this little cabinet months ago off Craigslist for $20.  The top was (and is) warped and the finish had eroded.  For a while I draped a piece of fabric on it to disguise the imperfections, but the dining room has started to become too "busy."  So I used glossy black paint to revitalize the surface.  Whenever I do get my country house, I'll invest in a real sideboard, but I'm fairly pleased with this for now.   

My next project might have to be finding a professional to fix the tiny lamp.
