I finally broke down and bought a new bed! I have been sleeping on an old double sized bed that was Mandy's when she was a teenager. I decided I didn't want to spend the money on a new dresser so instead of new I spruced the old one up a bit by spraying the gold handles with a brushed antique brown paint.
A can of spray paint goes a long way... so I started spraying other things...
Like this frame to this picture that I love but hated the gold frame.
Mom stitched this picture many years ago and I love it but
the frame wasn't my style. So happy I thought to spray it cause now
it hangs by my front door and reminds me of her.
I brought this little chair home from Mom and Dad's. It was Grandma
Thelma's and Mom had it recovered a few years ago.
It fits just perfectly in my living room now with my NEW ORGAN!
My neighbor, Rosemary Smart, is moving and doesn't want to take this
organ with her. So she said I could have it. It is old... probably 50 years
old... but it plays pretty good. I am able to get a good full sound out of it.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I play it often and hope I am driving my neighbors crazy with it!
It was free from Rosemary but I had to pay $170 to get it moved over.
But so worth it..... I may have to save my pennies and buy a newer one someday!
And finally.... I bought and put together this desk and book shelf for my
bedroom. I am getting so old and achy that it damn near killed me
to put them together. My wrists and hands still hurt two weeks later!
But I love the new look and I really love my new bed!
I sleep better and hurt less when I wake up! Life is GOOD!
