SOMEONE CALL 911

Hubby brought this critical guy home recently. As he unloaded him from the van, I could swear I heard "HELP ME!" coming from one of the drawers.

I've been going through my photos since starting this blog, and realized that I have quite a few redesigns to show you, past and present.

Check back soon. I'll be sharing more redesigns and recent finds. Hubby and I will be hunting and gathering at some great estate sales these next few days.

P.S. Don't forget, you can click on photos to enlarge.

    Did you take off all the old veneer from the first chest of drawers? (I love the embellishments too!)
