When not sewing or knitting...

These are a terrible photos. I haven't mastered a smart phone photo by any means, but this project is finally finished. It started out as a 1980's stereo/TV/drinks cabinet that we purchased at the local second hand furniture store. When we got it home, it stank so badly of cigarette smoke that I washed it with de-greaser, then TSP, then mineral spirits and then I parked it in the sun for the entire summer. This fall it came inside to be sanded.


It was painted mouse grey and I left the light blond "wood" finish on the inside.



Just as I was about to move it to the living room as our new TV stand and DVD storage unit, the octopus moved in.  (I do not accept responsibility for this, I was left totally unsupervised.)
