Never Going to be Finished

Because I didn't have enough on my to-do list, I bought an adorable desk off of usedvictoria.com that I fell in love with AND it was only $20. I learned that the magic word in getting a piece of furniture you want is "truck". This one lady said she received so many emails asking questions about it but she responded to mine because all I said was I wanted it and I have a truck to pick it up. So it's mine now and it's a lot of work.

Here is the front: I have picked up a beautiful
almost-black stain once I finish stripping it.

Here is the side: it's so cute. And $20.

So I have access to a truck because our car broke down. And in typical Jade fashion, it happened late on Christmas Eve. The clutch pedal broke, which isn't that expensive to fix, but when they looked underneath the car, they found 4 major safety hazards. Those are things that *need* to get fixed, not to mention there are so many things that we *want* to get fixed.

So Ted's wonderful parents lent us their truck. And now I have more furniture.

I'm off now to pick up two side tables and a coffee table. $65! I'm going to refinish those too.
