Drop Leaf Challenge

FOUND!

A friend of mine came across this and dropped it off for me. Definitely an interesting item to come home to.

Chippy paint, various stains, nooks and crannies galore. This one is going to be a test of patience and perseverance.

Strange, I didn't have a dining table for years, then as soon as one was purchased THREE more magically appear. You just moved to the front of the line, Chip.

Can't Stand the Plant Stand

FOUND!

With a top that's only slightly warped and worn, it's obvious why I found this by the trash bin.

The 70s avocado topcoat withdrew enough to reveal a vibrant gold underneath, and one foot seems a little bit small in comparison to the rest. Sure, there's a crack moving up the side, but none of these characteristics make the pedestal seem any less stable.

A quick sand/oil/paint, and this old boy is on its way towards a fresh new look.

Stay tuned for the update...
