I went on Craigslist and found some bedroom furniture awhile back (Oct.). We went and looked at it and bought it. I didn't like the color of it too well-- it was reddish looking-- and someone had tried to refinish it and had done a very poor job. Anyway, we asked a man to refinish it for us (Jerry Young's brother) in a darker color and we just got it back yesterday. I LOVE the darker color. It's so much nicer than what we had. How many of the drawers were coming apart on our old one and David took the dresser out and burned it. We thought the chest of drawers was better --and I guess it was-- but when I was taking things out of it yesterday I noticed one or two of the drawers that I didn't know about was breaking too so... it may be burned too. I got them when I was a junior in high school and it was used then so I don't know how old they were. This is the best we've ever owned and I really like it. We didn't get a headboard with it just the dresser, chest and night stand--which you can see a little of through the mirror.

It took me I don't know how longto find your pictures and read your blog; but I'm so glad you did finally update it. This comment will have to do for all the others because I just now read them. I do like your furniture very much and I'm sure you will be happy with it, especially since your burned that lovely one we bought however many years ago for $50.00. What a bargain! I liked your Thanksgiving pics too. It's now getting late and I must go. Love ya, Mom
I love your furniture! It's so much fun to update, isn't it? I love finding bargains, but this looks like upscale furniture! I had to chuckle at your mom's comment about your old set. That brought back so many memories of high school years when we were in and out of your parents' home and had so much fun!
Love you,
Brenda
