If you have been reading the blog for a while, you know my mom is one crafty lady.
Well she struck again and I am super jealous of her latest project.
Growing up we used to visit my mom's parents and loved "working" in the basement with all my grandfather's tools. I have fond memories of making all sorts of
My grandfather stored a bunch of his tools in this.
He passed away many years ago, but my mom held on to this gem, which was actually my great grandfather's and my mom thinks he made it himself.
With some sanding, stain, paint and rub 'n buff, my mom transformed it into this!
I think it's so fabulous that it's now in my parents home.
I love that there are so many memories attached to it.
The stained drawers and white shell are...to die.
I think it's absolute perfection!
Wow - that's beautiful!
