I'm back...

Wow, sure has been a while!! I've been busy working at Starbucks here in Oakland, along with little jobs walking a dog, editing reports for a local psychologist, babysitting, and soon reffing lacrosse!
So not much is new on the furn front... but here are some of the latest photos anyhow :)

This 1950's "gossip bench" will be redone in a bright bold fabric, probably from Ikea for economy's sake... have to decide if i'll paint the wood part or sand it down to a natural finish...









This BEAUTIFUL teak midcentury modern hutch needs no work whatsoever -- and it was just $60 on craigslist!!! I had planned on turning it around to make some cash, but it looks so perfect in my dining room.... so it's staying!


And here I am working on the TV cabinet on my porch.... it has since been entirely sanded, and the front has been masking-taped --- i'll be cutting out the image of a tree and then staining around it, so the tree shows through in the natural wood!! just have to find the time (and motivation) to finish before Steve freaks out that i'm taking forever!!!! Too many projects....
