    After a year of marriage, I decided it was time to clean out his late wife's hobby room. Still working on it, so no pictures yet. I found a perfect small cutting table over the one corner. It is a base bathroom cabinet ,with a pull out hamper in it , topped by a nice wooden top (larger than the base cabinet). After moving that I found a ton (well maybe just a half of ton) of heavy poster board. I was about to throw it out when decided it would be great for templates. Oh, also a bunch of four patch blocks just begging to be made into a quil, a roll of freezer paper and a roll of parchment paper. I also found enough upholstery to refinish our antique couch and chairs

    That had to be a hard thing to do. I think it is good that you can utilize some of her things. Sounds to me that he has good taste spouses.

    Nothing good happens to me from cleaning so I put it off.

    Change is hard sometimes. Love antiques. Any particular style couch and chair? Pics maybe later?
