When life gives you lemons, make a martini


My apartment flooded after Katrina ( I always wanted an apartment with a lake view...I should have been more specific), and the vast majority of my possessions including my late grandmother's furniture was destroyed. I managed to salvage this drawer from her dresser, stained tray table legs to match, and created a kind of butler's tray. It's perfect for keys, mail, and Cleo's leash right by the front door. It's a little cutsier (is that even a word?) than I usually prefer, but it was a way to preserve a little piece of my grandmother (that sounds a little creepy, but you know what I mean.)
