In With the New

After going back and forth between the paint or au naturale debate (on my beloved deal of a chandelier) I decided to leave it unpainted and see how I liked it. Done deal. I don't think it needs to be painted. I like it just how it is. This is it hanging over our Sunday dinnerscape. Do you think it wishes it were human just to try the cider-glazed salmon or cream-braised cabbage?

And remember these old table legs I bought from my neighbor for $5?




VOILA! Leave it to T. Schuller to work miracles in carpentry...

...and his pixied assistant to paint, stain and shellac.

I love it. I can't wait to set up shop and start using this little space of my own.

I'm glad you left the chandelier. It looks fantastic, Sarah!!! (and I want some of that salmon now...)

The table legs turned out great too! That T. Schuller does great work! (as of course does his pixied assistant)
