Well, my husband is back home from his Uncle's funeral. He is coping much better. He is just glad to know he is not in anymore pain. And I want to thank you all for your prayers and comments. They were so needed this past week. Thanks girls. But onto a happier note... I was browsing craigslist and boy did I find something good! I have been wanting a dry sink for the longest. And there she was in all her dusty glory. She was calling out to me "Take me home, get me out of this garage!" So, I asked my husband who was in Florida for the funeral at the time. He was reluctant to say yes. But I dropped "I'll make brownies!" line. And he caved. So, with three kids and a van I was on a mission to retrieve this beauty. I dropped by the owners house and they loaded into my van. As I was driving I was thinking "How the heck am I gonna get this into the house?". But my seven year old son and I managed to lug it in the house. It had wheels on the bottom so it helped too. But here are the pictures. I am planning on either re staining it or painting it completely. And I want to put new hardware on it. What do you think?

Gen,
You make me laugh. I didn't know all it took to get male cooperation was making brownies.
And, that is a great dry sink. I have been looking for one....forever and still don't own one. I'd say that was a great trade-off: brownies for a dry sink.
Yup,Theresa. A way to a man's heart is defiantly past his mouth! LOL. I actually got the dry sink from a craig's list. I was combing the ads and happened upon it. Got it for a steal too, 50 bucks! So, try on craig's list. You might have more luck there. Thanks for reading my blog!

I love it as it is but if it were mine, I'd paint it barn red and then stain it with dark walnut. But that's just me......
Did the 7 year old require brownies as well? :)

Lmao, Linda. No, brownies required for my 7 year old. When Mamma says "jump to it", you better. I have trained them well. LOL. They are used to going on "adventures" with me anyway so they know they have to help.
I was thinking about either restaining the dry sink a darker stain or just paint it black and prim it up. But everytime I mention it to the hubs he gives me the side eye. Maybe I got to put some thing in my brownies to get him to like my opinion of painting it black?
