I love restoring furniture. Almost ever piece in my house has a story to tell. Two of my favs....
1) I once carried a two-tier pie crust table on my hip from the Inner harbor of Baltimore the two miles to the ferry, on the ferry, the 1 mile from the ferry to the light rail, and on the light rail home! Quite an event for an 90 lb lady!
2) I bought a mahogany night stand for $1 at a yard sale and refinished it.
