This was one of my yard sale treasures from a few years back; the woman who sold it to me said her grandfather made it, and it was my intention to sand it off and stain it, and paint some sort of branch-and-berry design on the sides. But it went into the basement, and subsequently got many things stored on it and has been there ever since. You know what they say about good intentions. Anyway, I need it for my shop so I have resurrected it from its mildew-covered anonymity, and painted it a deep and disturbing shade of purple. It seemed like a good idea when I was at Home Depot looking at paint, and it's just a much darker shade of what's on the walls. Perhaps it indicates that I'm deeply disturbed. Let's not delve into THAT too far.

Day 3, In Which We Have Second Thoughts About Our Color Choice...
...ok, not WE, just ME. It's just that I didn't think it would be so....bright! Or pink. I'm not a fan of pink. It's supposed to be lavender but in reality it's kind of orchid. I'm sure it will be fine once I get the window things up and all my stuff in there to break up all that wall space.
