Female Parent'Second Day Weekend (And Quiltmaker Drawing Fourth Dimension!)
Saturday gave my fourth dimension to come over past myself together with position all of the pretty things dorsum inwards the relocated pace-back closet as well as and so fix to working on the new sideboard amongst a practiced one-time circular of effort, Old English scratch encompass for nighttime wood (Love this stuff) together with roughly piece of furniture wax.
It'sec amazing how thirsty this forest was - as well as equally the grime came off, the scratches in addition to blemishes were filled in amongst the Old English language scratch comprehend, too a scrap of shine was added - the beauty of this slice was revealed.
My grannie had many erstwhile Empire pieces in addition to I loved them growing upwards. The miracle amongst this i is that the hook feet are non missing toes or completely broken off, as well as that the glass knobs are notwithstanding beautiful, non cracked, broken or missing.
The exclusively thing that has happened over time (This sideboard is circa 1850-1860) is that the sheer weight of the piece has settled over time, mayhap warped a fleck inward our more humid southern climate, and the huge bottom drawer doesn't close all of the mode. I'k okay amongst that.
We all have things that go a fleck wonky as we age, am I right?
The crazy thing is - this is a MASSIVE sideboard. It's 66'' long, 26'' wide too virtually 36'' tall. It'second BIG. And withal it is dwarfed by the size of this dining room.
But at once it feels RIGHT. Like this was the way it was meant to live all along.
And I'll be cook for the Muddy Creek Misfits to get in on Wednesday afternoon1
