The two tables that I re-stained are now totally done (and dried) and back in place! As promised, here is an update.

All About that Paint!

But man, what a difference something like paint can make! Having lived in 3 different houses, owning 3 different rental properties, and helping prepare my parents’Continue reading “All About that Paint!”
