Dressing Table

The slow collecting of furniture continues.

We found this last weekend. After doing some research, it appears to be pre-1930, based on the manufacturer's inscriptions. Though it's not particularly valuable, we like it regardless.

As is usual, there was some assembly required. The way the mirror attached to the base was, ummm... all wrong. A couple of blocks of wood, some drywall screws, and a screwdriver wedged in there to keep the mirror from flopping over...

I'm sure the correct hardware was lost long ago. So I went off to the hardware store to get the right stuff.

It's much better now.

Another Mail Slot

This is likely the last outdoor project for the year.

I took advantage of the nice weather this past Sunday and installed this mail slot for the carriage house. There was no mail slot in this door previously.

A new coat of paint in the spring and this door will look great!
