some things are just not meant to be

well, the dude wants me to deposit money in his paypal account before he delivers the piece - I'm not comfortable with this. so, no China cabinet.

that's ok. Susan and I are planning on hitting some markets in Quebec in the spring so I should hold out until then anyway.

i think this is my favourite Sarah room ever (hgtv.ca)

    Sorry the china cabinet didn't work out. Been thinking of selling mine. Want it? Apparently, I'm out with all the old. My project is re-doing my "hope chest" that dad made. It was upstairs but with the wall pushed out into the living/dining divide for the reno it needs to go in the spare bedroom. So I'm planning on cutting off the decorative railing (for lack of a more correct term) and painting it gloss white and maybe installing a more modern railing. It remains to be seen if I will actually do this. Maybe once I recover from the reno.

    it's all cool - i think i found a solid teak credenza for $150 in Kemptville - may go check it out tomorrow. I would then put my blue one in the kitchen and sell that maple one (which was free and is really the only reason i have it).

    The "decorative railing" is actually called a "gallery" see, i did learn something in history of furniture after all!

    The credenza sounds great, I love teak.
    I knew there had to be a word for it! Not sure exactly how I will cut it off. I thought I would use our reciprocating saw but when I used it for the drawer mod, I found it wasn't that powerful. Still might be easier than cutting all of them by hand.
    I also plan to spray paint so need some nice weather.
