We have one good piece of furniture. There is, of course, a long story attached to it. We bought it from a former neighbour, nearly twenty years ago. I wanted it as it had lovely deep drawers, but was somewhat put off by the crimson paint and orange formica, we paid around £10. We also bought a wardrobe that nearly killed dear heart, but that is entirely a different story...
Well, after further complications and irrelevancies, we got the thing stripped and it turned out to be an original Victorian pine chest of drawers with original handles and original feet. It is a lovely piece, with lovely deep drawers. I have always been scared to do anything to it, like polish it with wax or varnish, so it has stayed lovely and clean...
Until little bear drew all over it in red felt tip at the weekend.
