New and old all at once!

So I moved at the beginning of this month. I call this post "old and new all at once" because I moved into a fairly old place. It was originally constructed back in the 30s, but to me it's new. A new experience, a new adventure, because I'll be living by myself for the first time in my life. 

Also I took several pieces of old furniture and sanded, varnished and redid them to make them like new. 

My grandmothers dresser: before ( note the huge marks on the surface. 

And after!!

My other grandmothers coffee table:

Before 

Again with the scuffs and scratches. 

And after!

This one actually was done twice. Once by me. It didn't look too bad:

But I glooped on too much varnish, so my uncle redid it. And did it better :)

And the last piece, wasn't an old price of furniture, but an old pallet and sheet of plywood I found. 

(Note Eko watching from the porch)

With these I designed and built a kennel cover for Eko!

Before backing and paint.  

Now: in the apartment, where it will live. 

Also featured is Mr. Monty! Check back soon, I'll try to get a video tour up in the next few days.
