♥ She Shined Up Like A New Penny ♥...

Man, she was parched!!! But after rubbing her down twice with mineral oil, her true oak beauty shined through. I even heard her happily sigh with relief. "Ahhh..."

Whew! With hard work and some old dental tools, I was able to clean out most (but not all) of that green paint.

See! What a difference!

I'm a happy camper and she is too.

    You are such a lucky lady to find something so beautiful. She cleaned up beautifully and looks great in your kitchen. I am still drooling over those countertops. Love them.

    I love it. It really looks good since you took the green out. It looked good anyway but now it's gorgeous.
