A Little Restoration.
My old tall boy, and another piece of furniture, has been retrieved from my Mum's house. The tall boy is a piece of utilitarian furniture from the late forties or early fifties and I'm fond of it. It has suffered quite badly over the years. The top was marked pot plants and the varnish on the boors destroyed; my sister hung damp towels on them. It had many other scratches and marks. Over the last couple of days I have sanded it down and revarnished it. I think it has come up fairly well. Now it sits in the living room, the TV on top of it, filled with board games.

The other piece of furniture is sixties sideboard. Its a bit on the ugly side, but we need storage space in the end room (for drink anyway other things can still sit in heaps on the floor).

Donald.

furniture restoration is a very worthy task. sound environmental and social principles for it, too.

i shall remember that you're in the know about how to do it and pick your brains should i ever decide to buy some decent furniture.
