It’s Themed Furniture Makeover Day! This month our theme is red, white, or blue. Isn’t that perfect since it’s almost Memorial Day weekend? I purchased a drop leaf table at an estate sale a few months ago and gave it a makeover in white. This table was owned by our former neighbor, a Hellcat pilot…
