Mom gift idea

Good idea for mom?  Room for: papers/ files,  record Lps,  and her typwriter.

Mom's second bedroom-  progress. Really the only 2 issues left are getting her sufficient bookcases (I guess you know a thing or two about this problem) and going through all her paper/ archives. The 6 boxes by the window are all papers.

Craigslist in the Washington DC/ Virginia Area

Real posts for hand painted vintage furniture in our area.
Disclaimer: How many of these will actually sell or sell for anywhere NEAR the asking price I can not tell you.  But as I said before, people should recognize that I am asking for very reasonable prices.

Be happy Post

I decided ok, this piece is NOT shabby chic feminine so with Doug's encouragement I started over :


Whatcha'  think of me now?
