    Okay Taryn, I may be bias, but I think YOU should win this challenge hands down. I've watched you create some amazing pieces of furniture, and this one is definitely a winner in my book. Glad you're home, and looking forward to your next jaunt to California to see what your mom has found for you to bring new life to! Your family finds the most amazing things for you to transform. Keep smiling that beautiful smile of yours!
