Getting ready for baby birds to leave the nest.

The boyz are moving into their own apartment.  Together!  Another friend will be joining them, probably just to keep the peace!  We have been collecting furniture and kitchen items for them from the local thrift stores.  We found a beat-up drop-leaf table at Savers.  It was marked $24.99, but the kind employee changed it to $19.99, just to get it off the floor.  Plus we had a 20% off coupon, so it was a great deal.  After hours of sanding and stripping off the junky top, repairing and painting the legs, the table is ready for its new home.  The 4 oddball chairs will be painted a cheery red to add a punch of color to the dwelling!


Of course, I get so excited to start the new project, that I forget to take the 'before' picture.  So, sadly, all we have is a 'during' picture and two 'afters'.  You  can see the two leaves in the background, they have been stripped and sanded and still look a little rough.  It was one messy table top!
