Mother'Second Twenty-Four Hours Weekend (In Addition To Quiltmaker Drawing Fourth Dimension!)
Saturday gave my time to come over past myself too set all of the pretty things dorsum inwards the relocated pace-dorsum cupboard together with and then set to working on the new sideboard alongside a expert one-time circular of travail, Old English scratch cover for nighttime wood (Love this material) too approximately furniture wax.
It'sec amazing how thirsty this wood was - and as the grime came off, the scratches together with blemishes were filled in amongst the Old English scratch cover, together with a bit of polish was added - the beauty of this piece was revealed.
My grannie had many sometime Empire pieces as well as I loved them growing up. The miracle with this one is that the claw feet are not missing toes or completely broken off, together with that the drinking glass knobs are however beautiful, non cracked, broken or missing.
The exclusively affair that has happened over time (This sideboard is circa 1850-1860) is that the sheer weight of the slice has settled over fourth dimension, maybe warped a flake in our more humid southern climate, as well as the huge bottom drawer doesn't shut all of the way. I'm okay with that.
We all have things that go a flake wonky equally nosotros historic period, am I right?
The crazy affair is - this is a MASSIVE sideboard. It'second 66'' long, 26'' broad in addition to almost 36'' tall. It's BIG. And withal it is dwarfed past the size of this dining room.
But immediately it feels RIGHT. Like this was the fashion it was meant to be all along.
And I'll be prepare for the Muddy Creek Misfits to arrive on Wednesday afternoon1
