After a year of marriage, I decided it was time to clean out his late wife's hobby room. Still working on it, so no pictures yet. I found a perfect small cutting table over the one corner. It is a base bathroom cabinet ,with a pull out hamper in it , topped by a nice wooden top (larger than the base cabinet). After moving that I found a ton (well maybe just a half of ton) of heavy poster board. I was about to throw it out when decided it would be great for templates. Oh, also a bunch of four patch blocks just begging to be made into a quil, a roll of freezer paper and a roll of parchment paper. I also found enough upholstery to refinish our antique couch and chairs

That had to be a hard thing to do. I think it is good that you can utilize some of her things. Sounds to me that he has good taste spouses.

Wow, that proves it pays to clean.

Nothing good happens to me from cleaning so I put it off.

Change is hard sometimes. Love antiques. Any particular style couch and chair? Pics maybe later?
