Two Sides To Every Story

When I find a piece of furniture most often it’s pretty beat up. It’s rare if I find a perfect condition piece someone gentle set out for the trash. It happens on occasion and when I do I do a little happy dance. I often think about the pieces I find when I drive them back to my studio.
