MY FAVORITE PIECE OF FURNITURE

MY FAVORITE PIECE OF FURNITURE
This is my favorite piece of furniture. I bought it , I think in 1980 at a junk shop for $15.00. It was covered in the mustard antigue glaze that was once popular and the bottom drawer was in five pieces. Oh yeah and half of the knobs were missing. I must have really had a vision! Anyway I stripped it and just rubbed it down with tung oil, fixed the drawer and added new knobs. I think it turned out really well. Sorry about the pictures propped up on the side, but when you are an artist, you always have paintings sitting around!

Oh, be still my heart! I think I would faint if I found this in a thrift store for that price.
