I sent my husband and son to pick this up on the way to the hospital on the night my first (and only thus far) granddaughter was born. When I first saw it, I thought what in the world did I just buy? This unloved and forgotten card catalog looked pitiful and was missing several drawers. Someone had put horrible knobs that didn't fit well and left it in a disgraceful state of being. When I came down from my new nana status and looked at it from a creative perspective, I got my vision. This was actually one of my first repurposing projects.
