So this isn't furniture, but I was able to use bricks found around my property and old tree limb chunks from my mom's place to finally complete my firepit. So it's still just in time for cool autumn nights.

I know, I know. Long time, no post. I can promise I've got some ideas banging around in my head, if someone could spare me some extra time to make them happen.

A lot of people ask me why I enjoy this. Why do all this work? "Isn't sanding just the worst?!" It's not. It may be my favorite part of the whole piece, taking off the rough, dirty, beat-up exterior and revealing what's underneath and then taking the scars and turning them into beautiful parts of the story. That's what I do. I don't refinish furniture. I rescue it.

Today I'm starting to work on the Pink Chair. I originally bought it at my favorite place to find pieces- A&R Used Furniture in the Old City. It has a lot of paint on it, and needs some solid TLC, but I can't wait to see it complete.

I went with the natural stain because I just love the natural warmth of the wood.

I found this sweet table at a local thrift store. I have been looking for this style for lawyer's office to sit between client chairs. It fit perfectly and we sat down and discussed refinishing it with a dark stain on the legs and a satin black top to match his desk. It is currently painted with textured rustoleum.

I recently (as in less than 30 days ago) bought a new house. My amazing sisters put up the wall shelves for me as my house warming present. Shockingly, I am going to sand the wood but then leave it natural. Yay wall shelves!!
