Demo and a strippa

What is a blogger to do, when she wakes up in the morning to find her husband has taken their newly purchased "diamond in the rough " and started work on it before she can get a "before" photo....

Yes, honey, you are right to look scared!

Well, I guess it's my own fault, I should have known better than to think he would let an opportunity to demolish something and play with strippa's pass him by!

Those pieces of wood he's working on... they were are a small demi-lune side table that we bought in a junk shop for 8bucks...

At least his enthousiasm is making a dent in the gross brown paint the prevous owner had covered it in.

FYI- We decided to take the table apart as the joints needed tightening, and the poorly applied paint needed to be kicked to the curb like nobody's business. As it is covered in a thick layer of brown paint, we don't know what condition the wood is in (or even what type of wood!)..... only time will tell!
