HOW COOL IS MY MOM

Well for those of you who don't know my mom is like a master woodworker. And I (now Brett and I) often benefit from her talent. So as newlyweds (well almost six month old newlyweds) we have furniture that we would probably never afford till all our future kids are grown.




This is the bed she gave us for our wedding. The quilt on the bed my sister made for us and the red quilt folded up was made for us by Brett's mom.


This is the side table and plant stand mom made for us. The "bamboo" legs were made on her very cool, high tech new lathe. The bookcase you can see at the edge of the picture was my nineteenth birthday gift.

This is my family's old kitchen table which she gave to us. These chairs we're actually made by her but she could make them if she wanted to. In one morning she refinished the table and chairs and would have reupholstered the seats but she didn't know what fabric i wanted (it had this really ugly fake looking rush weave on them before).
So now we have almost all new furniture and our apartment is really starting to look good. Once we have it all together and decorated i'll take more pictures and post them.
