dancerjodiMy sister's place is really nice! There are some decorative issues to work out, but she's got plenty of time to figure those things out. I'm so happy for them!
In house related news, I'm getting lazy. I worked a bit on polishing the brass drawer pulls for my bureau, and learned that one of the 10 wasn't brass - it was steel (and got all rusted soaking in its vinegar bath to free the initial tarnish). In addition, the part that the brass bails fit into also isn't brass - they are so rusted that they'd need some time with mild sandpaper before I continue polishing. As I already mentioned, I'm so mentally done with working on this bureau. I did some poking on e-bay and found some reproduction pulls for $3 each and ordered them. So they won't be original antique brass, but I won't have to spend hours working on them. I learned the style is chippendale:

So now the night is mine while Brian geeks. As with any free time, I'm not sure how to use it. I'm frustrated with my drawer pull experience today, so I'm not even going to try to continue sewing.
