This is the first time I thought I was gonna toss in the towel. I sanded what seemed like forever on the top of this cart. Who ever had this piece before my friend was not very friendly to it. What a waste! They tossed it in the trash as if it had nothing else to offer. This little cart had lots of life in it and I fought it and won. As I told the story in Thursdays blog...

I stand firm that almost any piece of furniture real wood or not can be saved and up cycled into a usable piece. Well I think I’ve met my match and this piece is kicking my butt. A few weeks ago a friend of mine ask me to stop by her house. She had a piece of furniture that she found and wanted to know how to redo it. I love to look at things people find and help them...
