A Little Before. And Some During.

Here's a photo of the bed I scored for zero dollars last week at a garage sale. That's right zero.

You can't get a better price than free.


I wasn't sure if it was an antique like the little table I got for a mere $15 at the same garage sale.

But when I got it home I looked at the back this is what I saw:


You can barely see the red stamp.

See the big W and the I-L-L-E-T-T?

Yep, it's another  piece of Willett furniture.

I haven't found a photo of this type of bed on-line, but I'm sure it's old. Like the little table. And sturdy.

I'm not really crazy about the style. A bit chunky for my liking, but it is solid maple.

I'll sand it down and then consider how to finish it.

Meanwhile, here's a photo of the little table so far.



Notice Jack had to photo bomb again.

I'm about a third of the way done with the sanding on this little cutie. I may just add a polyurethane finish to it. Not sure yet.

I hope to have an "after" post sometime soon. Unfortunately I have to go to work instead of re-finishing furniture all day.

Darn jobs...sigh.
