Another Mess

There are two of these little tables in the living room.

There are two Church pews in the living room.

The clock is on the wall at the bottom of the stairs to the family room.

The table in the living room.

The new bead board and chair rail to dress up the kitchen.

What do all of these have in common? One very talented man and Nashville fireman. While I was down for the count on Friday , Danny came and put up the Ann Arbor beadboard and chair rail in the kitchen. It dresses the old room up and I look forward to bringing the room into the twenty first century. Not much has changed since the house was built in 1964. After that many years I guess you could say we have an antique kitchen.

The furniture was made from wood that the farm tenant wanted to get out of the old house and burn. I did not know that the wood even existed . Frank, the farm tenant told me that Lewis, Prince's father had cut down this huge cherry tree on the back side of the property with the intention to make some furniture for Prince. Frank reminded me that Lewis had died in 1975 and the tree was cut several years before he died. Therefore, he reasoned that was so long ago that the wood had probably ruined.

I called a friend who makes furniture and he told me to check out how it was stored. I asked Frank if he would show me where in the old May's house it was located. It was upstairs and when I saw it I knew it should not be burned.

The above pieces of furniture were not the first made from the cherry wood just the ones made by Danny, who is the talented man that is working on my kitchen. I have four other items made by my dear friend , Rick(Pammie Pooh husband) who was the one I called and was advised to check out the storage site.

The Kitty Justice is DO NOT burn the wood as you might get some FINE FURNITUR made from the tree.

I hope FIL Lewis looks down an approves of what I had made from his tree.
