Wow, I stand corrected on sooo many things. Guess I WAS really shitfaced drunk after all!

1- It turns out that my neighbor Greg (whom you met that day) also has a much better version of the round coffee table with a hole in middle – handcrafted from beautiful old wood – maybe even walnut? He wants $100 for it, should I go for it? I immediately regretted rimming the interior ring with fringe on this one – too much.

2- Counter-ready pine, not plywood. The design was taken from Spanish tile that I found in my parents basement and now graces the part of this kitchen island you don’t see – a floor model of a Home Depot workbench with huge SWEET rolling drawers. It’s finished with a poly satin, stood up really well.

3- The table top and legs were unfinished separates from IKEA. I LOVE the American flag idea! I’ve been wanting to paint right over this one for some time now. Ob and P might inspire me!

4- Not a true Hoosier, and not from the trash – junk store in Scarborough ME. I stripped and painted the body, my ma painted the doors. I was thinking about repainting this bright yellow – minus mom’s door panels of course. The cat on the left is 2 years dead by now.

Onward!

And I’m laughing my (frozen) rear off visualizing you getting caught up in the moment and painting your kitchen table today in American flag motif. That’s OK…I sang the National Anthem yesterday. I seemingly couldn’t control the words from spilling out of my mouth. Loudly!
