Join me in this adventure creating beautiful in your home. I live in South Western Ontario, am married to the most amazing man (he has to be amazing to put up with all the "junk" I bring home) Together we have 4 GREAT adult kids, one daughter in law ( I couldn't have asked for a better woman for our son) and I'm Oma to the cutest and brightest little boy. Yes I'm biased! T.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've been very busy, which is a very bad excuse for not being here. One of the things I vowed is that I would make a much bigger effort to keep up to date on my blog. Please help me keep this vow. I'm holding you (as well as me) accountable.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I kept trying to pick a project that I've completed to highlight this first blog post of the year. Kept going through my pictures and I just can't seem to make up my mind. So I thought maybe I would just show you some of the things I've done since my last blog post. Sounds fair to me right? </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last week I went to a town wide sale. (gotta love those town wides) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But shortly after leaving and grabbing my coffee I saw this sad sad dresser on the side of the road with a big ole sign that said FREE!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Of course I had to stop! </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Veneer was lifting on the top and one side, it was totally missing on the other side. The front and top had been painted, and part of the far side. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BUT it was solid. So I removed the drawers and started dragging it towards my truck. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm pretty good at hauling stuff, but this sucker was heavy! And I was struggling. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thankfully a really nice man drove by, turned around and helped me out. Apparently he's used to it, since he father was a picker! How cool is that? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It took up so much room and since I was closer to home than to the town wide, I decided to drop it off first. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hubby took one look at it and just shook his head. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Silly man, he needs to stop that, he knows I can do "something" with it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I did. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Took all the veneer off, stripped what was left of the paint, tightened the top and sides, sanded it to within an inch of it's life then stained it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wanted something unusual. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I took the drawers, laid them close together and laid an old lace table cloth over it. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOVzKRFr7tN41PiSB7P63z8Rv8CjkTRMgo8tc3AZn0AZld-l3vq3SkDCRmzWR7doWusG4-O4M9NPIXpmnLdxLdcgG7368npq6Mdx0hdTFZA86nIG85fxsfrC_b7616a02s5whf55xsiE/s1600/11416335_883643651698292_6506560808571324878_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOVzKRFr7tN41PiSB7P63z8Rv8CjkTRMgo8tc3AZn0AZld-l3vq3SkDCRmzWR7doWusG4-O4M9NPIXpmnLdxLdcgG7368npq6Mdx0hdTFZA86nIG85fxsfrC_b7616a02s5whf55xsiE/s320/11416335_883643651698292_6506560808571324878_o.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've done this before and had a harsh time keeping the lace in place, so I wrapped tape around the table cloth and on the drawers. Then gently sprayed it directly from the top. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You know, the long ones that sat in everyones living rooms?</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I never feel bad about taking them apart and redo'ing them. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love this time of year for yard sales.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And all the things you find on the side of the road. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Town wide yard sales are the best. Everyone is out and trying to get rid of their things. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm getting much better at doing the whole drive by thing. You know, where you see a yard sale but it's all toys or kids clothes. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yes I know, sometimes they have something really good in them, but it's not what I'm looking for. I'm past that stage in my life. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I started out grabbing a coffee at my local Timmies yesterday, then headed off. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On my way, I found this</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Xk5sNp2qb9fqQcNuVleKUmZa3NCnJOW79_LCmMgA7lenQK9EAjM55QRYcXpp7DrajWZ1gwvObIHmuiX4pq9eE3sSO_DTE0rmExWGGzjRqpQYm7uqitp8DjWwfEvNvF6fWVPJ8bumPcY/s1600/11539613_880899568639367_5398678451334658850_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Xk5sNp2qb9fqQcNuVleKUmZa3NCnJOW79_LCmMgA7lenQK9EAjM55QRYcXpp7DrajWZ1gwvObIHmuiX4pq9eE3sSO_DTE0rmExWGGzjRqpQYm7uqitp8DjWwfEvNvF6fWVPJ8bumPcY/s320/11539613_880899568639367_5398678451334658850_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Of course I had to pull over. The picture makes it look pretty good. But the veneer is coming off all of it. The top and front have been painted. But what you can't see is why I nabbed it. The detail on the bottom and the fact that this baby is solid walnut under all that veneer. The top is loose as is one of the side. Thankfully I know how to fix that. Can't wait to start on it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then off to a local town wide sale. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lots of clothes, lots of dishes..but only a bit of furniture. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I didn't get a whole lot, but what I did get was quality stuff. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A few chairs. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">See the Eastlake one? That's a "ladies" chair, and thankfully I had already picked up the "gentleman's" Chair last year...so now I have a matching set. :) Yup....did a bit of a happy dance over that one :) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">ok...I admit the colour is awful...but isn't she pretty? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had mentioned to hubby just the night before that I wanted to try my hand on this style. Almost like an extended wing back. I can't wait to get started on it. But it does need a bit of repair, and of course, new material. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hubby and I sat in front of the computer last night looking a fabric and design for this baby. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But before all of that.......I have several other couches and chairs that need to be finished up. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Better get to work. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I started this furniture journey I never considered upholstery. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Painting was fun. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Learning how to fix and rebuild and sand and stain and sand some more. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That was all great. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">recovering a few chair seats here and there was great too. Loved looking at fabric and choosing something that I thought would really update a piece. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Loved all of it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Upholstery? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Scared the living daylights out of me. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Doing my first couch.......terrifying!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've done a few now. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not as terrifying as it used to be. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So when I spotted this chair at one of my favorite picking spots I knew it had to come home with me. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The material was in such good shape that I seriously considered leaving it alone. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The only thing that stopped me was my evil brain. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You see when I see a piece like this I can never stop wondering. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wondering what happened on that chair. Were there leaky diapers? A dog or cat that left something that may have been cleaned off the top but maybe soaked through? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You just never know. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So off it came. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last year I picked up a drop leaf table. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't think I have any truly "before" pictures. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKNswybaVoS9bv8HBKK4OBT2JmFym1ysE2ZlNCgXxzXG9gGSgrsXb0CKMixZLjtaul3GmzKU72WNKeeodsnJ3q5uEXs0hsxKbmk0g0zDZLS2eohGTQmEjllXIceO8LJc4Hdlt1SP9KNM/s1600/DSCN3779.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKNswybaVoS9bv8HBKK4OBT2JmFym1ysE2ZlNCgXxzXG9gGSgrsXb0CKMixZLjtaul3GmzKU72WNKeeodsnJ3q5uEXs0hsxKbmk0g0zDZLS2eohGTQmEjllXIceO8LJc4Hdlt1SP9KNM/s320/DSCN3779.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was really rough. See the light spot? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought maybe I could save it...but that light spot is wood fill to fill in the burnt portion that I was "hoping" to sand out of it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Obviously that didn't work. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That wasn't the only thing "wrong" with it. The legs actually had to be put back on. and the fold down side pieces were soaked and straightened. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was a long hard process...and I was so frustrated that I completely left it alone for the winter. I actually contemplated cutting my losses and tossing it on the burn pile at the cottage. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then I got my back up and told myself it didn't need to be "perfect" it needed to be saved. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I got back at it this week and saved it. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am a total lover of history. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I believe with my whole heart that as much of history should be passed on from one generation to the next. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So today I'm telling you a story. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not just of a piece of furniture, but of the lives it has touched. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This is an army crate. I met the owner. Mr. Schultema a few months ago when I was invited to his home to "pick" through the things in his home before he moved to a retirement home. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> As you can see this was his from his army days back in the Netherlands. He has carried this crate half way around the world when he was stationed in the Philippines. All his worldly possessions were in it. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> After being discharged from the army he married and the new couple set out on a life changing adventure to Canada. They farmed and raised a family (I believe there were 4 kids) Then sold the farm and moved to town. There they enjoyed retirement. And still the crate stayed with him. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGMshBsT6TcWuwugzZ_NUsvV81IBaaUvtM4WVFbgH1qe3b_1uRBhsb2Ut-V8WuZM7Q0h-7QInxD-9szf9o_BJkEbTyEtc1sZEkulP2oHfDJQFhgN9mkhOgZ41EtMOX0kqaG-DXz2buNl0/s1600/DSCN3322.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGMshBsT6TcWuwugzZ_NUsvV81IBaaUvtM4WVFbgH1qe3b_1uRBhsb2Ut-V8WuZM7Q0h-7QInxD-9szf9o_BJkEbTyEtc1sZEkulP2oHfDJQFhgN9mkhOgZ41EtMOX0kqaG-DXz2buNl0/s1600/DSCN3322.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> When it was time to move to a retirement home he contacted his kids and invited them to come through his home and pick the things that meant the most to them. They did that. They left this crate behind. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3dr2GvgTgIf1cnazKuhMnX7LLGvuoMucVv0XbYGqNLQuw5TmGjBYHObjPKvtgZXIoiiryGsXVwhcV5-OC78yBS8Vk28UT0jm4yX0DYUIt88KiteuO4dGek4x3EcIjuMGW4Kqv9gyKc40/s1600/DSCN3323.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3dr2GvgTgIf1cnazKuhMnX7LLGvuoMucVv0XbYGqNLQuw5TmGjBYHObjPKvtgZXIoiiryGsXVwhcV5-OC78yBS8Vk28UT0jm4yX0DYUIt88KiteuO4dGek4x3EcIjuMGW4Kqv9gyKc40/s1600/DSCN3323.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No one wanted it. I talked with his wife, she didn't want it, the kids didn't want it. They had a yard sale and no one who came wanted it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And when I came, I learned how this crate held his things, his memories his loyalty for more than 70 years. I wanted it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He asked me if I would find someone to love the crate as much as he did. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I told him I would. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Although I'm drastically changing it, I have found a new home and I know they will honour the memory and take special care of this memory box and create their own new memories. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can't wait to share the transformation :) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">PS. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once I ripped out the cardboard and waxed paper from the inside I found several date stamps all of them saying Dec. 5/1919. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like finding stuff like that. </span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">See the veneer missing? But what's that peeking out from under the veneer? Solid wood? yup! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So out came the hot iron and some wet rags and the work began. All the veneer was stripped off. Sanded and stained. In parts that is. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The stained glass was so pretty I didn't want to distract from that with "colour" So out came the antique white. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not sure if I'm busier on week days or weekends.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A lot of my clients show up in the evening or on weekends. I do my running around during the day, and once in a while I spend an evening at the studio to catch up on work I couldn't do during the day.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then I look around and see the mess I've made and I smile.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I work for myself :)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I really should take a pic of my reality, but I'm embarrassed by it at times. I shouldn't be right?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today I didn't get anything "done" nothing "finished"</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But I had a really good time.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I can't say I was sad to see it go. I mean it was BIG! But at the same time I was almost hoping that no one was going to buy it because it would have been the perfect replacement in my office. Hubby almost gasped when I suggested it. I think he was hoping to save his back. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I sent my husband a BBM and told him I felt like drawers were multiplying while I wasn't looking. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But getting to work on all of this means that I will have tons of "finished" products at some point next week. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And that's what happens when you do it all on your own. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You get things done, moved out and a ton more right behind it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some days I feel like my life is a soap opera. You know the TV shows that everyone's mom used to watch. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Does anyone watch those things anymore? Are they even on TV anymore? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm going to try to cut this story down a bit. But lets start with this. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I bought this amazing mid century dresser at auction. (along with the matching tall boy...but lets focus here) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I turned it into this. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Lovely right? So I posted it on kijiji and had a lot of responses for it. It sold. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now this is where the story gets interesting. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I always try to be nice when responding to people online. I hate hate hate when people respond to ads with one or two words or worse...don't respond at all when you are trying to buy something. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I have made it my goal to always respond and be totally honest with them. I had to let everyone know that it sold. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the people that was interested recognized my name in a responding email. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Turns out she is the..........ready for this?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She is the second wife of my husbands first wifes, second husband. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Got that? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Go ahead and scratch your head for a min. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">See we (hubby and I) are a blended family. We've both been married before. Now his ex wife got married again....and then divorced, and married again. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The second ex husband married again...and it was this person who messaged me. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All of these marriages and divorces were years ago, and honestly I don't think anyone cares anymore. I certainly don't. And "D" doesn't either. We don't all hang out or anything, but we all have one thing in common.....our son. Poor boy now has three sets of parents. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back to my story. She knows what I do for a living and she asked me to keep my eyes open for a dresser...we talked and I had a pretty good idea of what she wanted. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It didn't take long and I ran into this while looking for something totally different. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't often name my dressers or any of my furniture.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So it's been a while since I've been out actually looking for pieces. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And it's been a bit accidental. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've been a part of a site called Varage. It's kinda like Craigslist or kijiji, but you have to be a member and it's more personal. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's free, which is always a bonus for me. I would hate to have to pay to offer or buy stuff. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It started with me seeing this wonderful piece. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now for those of you who think you can't bring things across the border.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On my way back I decided to stop in at a few of the places I normally hit that carry good furniture at decent prices. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The first few places were a bust. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But then I hit my fav place and BINGO! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Then this wonderful Harvest table. I had a good look at it before I bought it and noticed the nails. If you have time, do a bit of research on nails. You can almost always find the age of a piece just by the shape of the nails. And trust me not all square nails are equal. I am going to date this piece to early to mid 1800's...just by the nails alone. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> That's a safe. It's built right into the desk. I need to get a picture of the back of this thing. There is the lock on the safe and then the doors also have locks. But on the back of the other side is a cheater hole that allows someone to get in and out without a key. Strangest thing I've ever seen. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Something like this? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yup..me too.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought it would make a wonderful entertainment unit or buffet. Maybe it was the glass that got me. I just couldn't leave it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And it sold</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Before I had the chance to paint it. Which is wonderful.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's so pretty. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So many nice details. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BUT oh my oh my</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've come across the bed from mishap H.E. double L.L. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It all started innocently enough. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Found a wonderful antique bed and brought it home. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Obviously my taking pictures didn't work very well either. I know that somewhere in one of my thousands of albums there is a true "before pic" But really. This seems more appropriate. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They look fine don't they? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But even getting them to this point was a chore. I sanded them down and as feared the dreaded bleed through happened. Not a big issue if you are painting it dark, but when you are using a cottage WHITE....it's a huge problem. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thankfully I knew what to do and these pics are after I fixed it. (hint, seal it with a poly, stain blocking primers do NOTHING!) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With that taken care of it was time to get it really painted. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Including the side rails. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This is the kind of bed where there is a bolt that goes through the center and wood slides into the slots. But when I went to put it together..........it didn't fit! Panic mode. My client/friend was coming the next day to get it. Quickly I called hubby who ran to the basement to confirm my fears.....I had taken the wrong side rails. Run home and do it all over again. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> See the difference between the two ends? Look closely. The width between the wood slots is different. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">phew......kind of. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The saga continued. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She started calling it "Frustrating Friday" </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I ended up heading over to her place, just going there was so much easier than trying to explain what I wanted her to do. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We ended up ripping the old nuts out, going and getting new nuts and bolts and putting it all together again. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here in Canada this time of year brings lots of wet boots into the house and most people (us included) have floor mats to catch the worst of it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Of course that means these floor mats look very old before their time. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ours was no exception. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">See how uneven that colour is? That used to be one nice evenly dark coloured mat. Now it just looked sad. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So bring out the chalk paint. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One layer of grey, let it dry, tape up a simple design and go at it with a couple of layers of cottage white. Distress (it's going to get distressed anyway) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seal it with a couple of coats of poly and give the dogs a treat for not even looking at the mat while I worked. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So here she is! </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This took me one day to do. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wish I had done it last year. But when I mentioned it to hubby last year he put a damper on my idea by simply saying NO!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This time when the urge struck I waited till he left for work and didn't mention it to him till he came home. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">His exact words were "I LOVE IT, that looks great!"</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then he turned to me and asked how worried I was he would hate it. See he remembered the conversation last year. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sneaky man. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sneaky me. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think we all have our collections. Especially those of us that are in this remodeling/recreating business. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love my clocks and scales</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My husband is loving the scales and he now has an obsession for vintage fans. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But when it comes to Christmas it's a whole new ball game. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love sleds. But so far I've kept it to really small ones. They can take up so much room, and I just don't want to deal with it. (for now...the time will come) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's really Santa I'm obsessed with. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But they have to be different than the traditional ones. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I try very hard to keep them together, in one section of our great room.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> This one is the only really "traditional" one that I have.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm often asked where I get my stuff. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Everyone assumes I just get it all from yard sales. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As all of YOU know. Yard sales are just a small part of gathering things to redo. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of my spots is auctions. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You have to have a plan when you go to auctions. Live or online. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Set your limit and stick to it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Which is not always easy, especially when you love something. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Two weeks ago I snagged this set at auction. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Oh my, I have not been blogging like I normally do. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's been a very busy fall. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Christmas season is normally pretty busy, but it seems like we have been having family gatherings just about every weekend since September. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think we may take a couple of days off to be by ourselves right after Christmas. I think..I hope. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've been working hard. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I mean really hard. If you follow me on facebook, you can see all the things I've been doing. I really encourage you to do that. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A couple of weeks ago I did a dresser for a new client. I don't think I even have pictures of it for you. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And if you don't know how this business works it goes something like this. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Client calls..." I have a friend" </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Me..."friends are good"</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Client..."she has some stuff she wants to get rid of, I'm not sure if you would be interested. I mean I'm sorry if you aren't, it's old, you like old stuff right?"</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Me... "I love old stuff" </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Client.."I told her you might like it, here is her number you can pick it up right away, she wants it gone"</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">numbers are exchanged and I make the call. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After all it's old stuff. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I love when all the pieces are still there. Often these sliding drawers are gone. This one had lots of ink stain, so the bottoms of the drawers were taken out and flipped over before I even tried to finish it off. I could have sealed it and hoped for the best, but I've learned that sometimes it's easier to flip it than to fight it :) </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have been so busy doing Custom orders lately that I haven't had time to do any of the stash things I've picked up. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Customs are great, and I love fulfilling the dreams of my clients. But sometimes it's nice to just do a piece for the love of doing it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I picked this up last summer. Asked hubby where I got it (normally I'm really good at remembering) He couldn't remember and I couldn't remember so it's our mystery piece. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The mirror is missing, but I don't care. It's actually more flexible this way. A mirror can be hung behind it, or use it as a desk for a child or as a hall table...entertainment center. Even as an extra table during the Holidays (picture snacks and drinks on it) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But it needed a bit of loving, and I was sooooooooooo willing to give that. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">During the summer months I get out a lot and search yard sales and I have a few contacts I gather furniture from. Which is wonderful! I love it. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But during the colder months there are no yard sales.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BUT there are auction sales. Which I also love in a totally different way. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I have to share my finds with you. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I bought this beast last summer. I have no idea why except I knew it was old. It was in ROUGH shape. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I didn't actually take the drawers out of this. I did take the drawer fronts off the top for these pics. See it came without the top three drawers, just came with the fronts. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But look at those side pillars. Aren't they pretty? </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But it was rough. Soooooooooo Rough! </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I knew it was old. I mean very old school old. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I was working on it I took some clues from this girl as to age. I'm such a history geek that I've done a LOT of research in to age of furniture. Every inch of this girl was hand made. Now hand made does not automatically mean old. But the materials and cuts of wood and the nails all add up. Did you know that nails can give you a pretty good guess on age? They can. And this girl was giving off plenty of clues. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I estimate this girl to somewhere before 1790. (on the shape of the nail and nail head alone) </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She's had a lot of repair over the years. There were nails from the early 1800's then some from the mid to late 1800's. Those lasted till I found some modern nails in her. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She was well loved. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now...after some more repairs. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She is ready for more love. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Obviously I added new hardware.

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As many of you know I've been in a bit of a bind lately. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My business has been growing by leaps and bounds, and has quite frankly outgrown my house. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've been moving things around and trying to stack furniture, but it wasn't working. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My little business was taking over. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bit by bit. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My home was no longer my home. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And it made me sad. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So a few months ago I started my search. Not seriously, just looking at what was available out there. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We came across one I could afford a while back, but it's wasn't exactly right. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I thought I would stop my search for a bit. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then got back to it this week. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I found two. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We went and looked at both today and guess what?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
