I am pretty excited about this new piece of furniture in my house. Heavenly Father really does care about the details of our lives. I give all that I can to serving Him, and every day that I look for them, I see the tender mercies that come from Him and bless my life. One of those recently was the thought to take a peek at the classifieds for a buffet. I had searched before with no success, but this time it didn't take me long to find what I was looking for in my price range. I had enough money stashed away that I could buy it and pay to have someone else refinish it (I knew that taking on a project like that would be too hard on the family). Tyler was so very kind to support me and take me on a "date" to pick it up. It required removing all 3 benches from our van, and we went ahead and dropped it straight off at Amber's house to refinish it because this thing weighs a TON. She did a fantastic job, and I think that JoJo would approve. Another blessing: the refinish ended up costing more than I originally thought and I was stressing about how to cover the cost. The armoire that was on this wall ended up selling 2 days before the buffet was complete, and for just the amount I needed. One of these days I will learn to stop stressing and just let the Lord be in charge.
The icing on the cake? After it was completed I got a flyer in the mail from a chic furniture boutique with a buffet that looked exactly like this, on sale for only $1899!!! Made my all-in price of $325 look pretty fantastic.
