We’ve all been there. That piece of furniture you’ve somehow ended up with.

You don’t much like it but it has sentimental value.

You’d actually like it if you could add your own personal touch to it.

For me, it was the dining room table that came with my husband when I married him. Functional, but… well worn.

Add a few fork marks from my enthusiastic kids and it really was in need of a new life.
