sweet little dresser? wash stand?

Lucky the frost did not hit as predicted, Sheldon did say it was only 1 degree when he was off around 6 so lucky me, still can grow my zucchini ;) I finished up the last of the horses names and put up in the barn.

My rest of morning was spent working on this little orphan dresser. I LOVE taking things headed for hte dump that have great bones and look to be well made. This little guy did not disappoint, solid hardwood build but an entire morning of sanding and scraping. It seems it has had a few paint jobs.. cream, peach, melamine orange, blue and maybe more but it continues to want to be reloved.

one drawer done one not

3 drawers done and wanted to snap a better before of the body

that orange just jumps out at you!

Lola did alert me to infiltrators and I found the bale guy loading 10 more bales, thanks Lola! And D as he did chime in from his pillow in the garage ;) they showed up for 2 more loads after this too

great view of the mountains today

My afternoon was spent on the dresser too doing repairs then giving it a deep cleaning!

I found the keyholes popped right out while trying to get all paint out of them so easy to resand that area smooth now

I also put one more coat of hand rubbed poly on the cream dresser too

Another load of bales was being picked when Sheldon arrived home. He kindly picked up my paint parcel in town on his way, thanks. the bale picker fetched up 2 more loads before Sheldon headed out to swath the test strip area.

Not long and he was back and as we ate a late supper another load was picked up, the field is looking clearer but still many loads to go. Sheldon was heading to shut the gate when he saw the picker back yet again. We started a new series tonight, Narcos.
