    My parents moved to assisted living from their home of over 50 years in December, 2023. They are 95 and 99. A grandson bought the family home and he acquired the family stool. It never had a back like the one you found, but it has the folding steps. If someone in the family hadn’t bought the house, I would have taken the stool for myself. So many memories in one little seat!

I used to bring things home to use. One time I found a beautiful dresser, it had bed bugs. We spent so much money getting rid of them Now my other half doesn't want me to pick up stuff. 😢Huge hugs.

      We had the spray from the do it your self pest control. We had an issue before we used it. Contact your local pest control they definitely know more than me. I didn't want to scare you I'm terribly sorry I just thought someone would have an answer. Today's Quote: "We shouldn't be afraid to embrace whimsy, that nagging idea that life be magical; it could be special if we were only to take a few risks." -Donald Miller. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞

    Love your upcycles, all of them, but my heart belongs to the adirondack chair! I salvaged a similar one from my neighbor across the street. When they put it out, I waited until dark to snatch it up b/c I was a little embarrassed, since I didn't know them well. When my house went up for sale & she brought a client through, we laughed about it! My favorite method of distressing is the candlewax---I think it produces the most authentic chippines!
