That was then

L and I found this in some back alley way in Venice... Look how adorable that bookshelf is on the left!

We decided it just needed a little bit of TLC and new knobs!



Getting it off the streets was beyond anything a sketch comedy show could have portrayed!  But we were persistent and got it done!



Just a little hand sander (don't get me started on THAT story) and this guy is ready for the o'natural look or a quick coat of paint or stain and some fancy knobs from Anthropologie.com  and Bob's your uncle!




For some reason, I guess I never took a photo of it all sanded!
