Monkeyblog

Now that we have piles of clothing for the monkey (see her website for a list of loot), we needed to find something to store it all in.

Most of the furniture in our house is antique- not Stickley or anything, but solid and functional. We decided a dresser was something that she could use for years, so off we went to Wertz Brothers to find her something. Then the Goldilocks effect set in- it couldn't be too big (or she couldn't use it when small, helping mom us put away clothes), or too small (or she couldn't use it into her teens), not too elaborate, not too plain, not too expensive.

But, as always at Wertz, we found just what we were looking for. Actually, it is almost identical to the one daddy has, but a bit smaller, with nice light drawers that open easily. The only blemish is the hardware on the top drawer has been replaced. However, I've seen the same bakelite handles at Liz's Antique Hardware, so we should be able to replace them.

Now, on to the crib!
