Remember the lil' bird's eye maple commode I got last week and the big booboo it had on it's top, well I didn't want to strip off the veneer or fill the hole with wood patch, so I just filled the wound with modge podge, a crafter's glue and it sealed the crumbling wood veneer together. Then I covered over that with water base poly...not a perfect piece for the perfectionists out there, but a visual tale of woe to a piece neglected by someone, with an over-flowing flower pot that continually dripped down on this sweet lil' ol'timey piece.
It made a huge scar, but to me it's a blemish of time and how imperfect our world can be and how easy it is to focus our attention on the piece and not the blemish...wouldn't it be nice if we could view our brothers and sisters the same way.
I love and covet this lil' gem...it looked so cute in my house, but it also is adorable in the new shop...you'll just have to wait till Thursday when I post pics of the newly decorated shop...can't wait, can you...
