School is in!

Several weeks ago Mr. B and I went in search of cheap and needy furniture.  We found ourselves at the The Peddler's Mall on the east side of Indianapolis.  This was our first visit there but probably not our last.

It was an interesting mix of just about everything and by everything I mean everything.  I'll leave it at that for now and lets focus on what we found!

 It was a bit on the rickity side when we found it but all the wood was in pretty good shape.

 There were a few cracks in the seat, so Mr. B got out his wood glue and clamps.

Sanded and stained and several coats of polyurethane satin finish.  He also cleaned up the cast iron and spray painted them with Rustoleum Gloss Black.

It found its home in our dining room as a side table.

Thanks for reading!!

To start or not to start..

When you have no idea what you are doing, how do you start?  We don't know but we are starting anyway.

So in this blog we will chronicle our furniture finds and what we are doing with them.  We will share our trial and errors.  We will post loads of pics of the good, the bad and the ugly and hopefully along the way entertain those who read.
