He Works Hard For The Money.
Phillip has been hard at work all day today scraping and sanding our newest treasure.
We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to salvage this beautiful built-in from the third floor of the Market Street Emporium building downtown at Broadway and 2nd Avenue. (A big shout out to Craig who, as I am told, nearly lost a hand helping Phillip get this sucker down three stories. I am surprised you are still speaking to us, but I am glad that you are.) It is 10 feet long and close to 8 feet high. And solid wood. I am still not sure how the two of them moved this monster.
Ya'll know how much I love Nashville. And how much I love old stuff. So, I wish you could have seen my dance of joy when we lucked into this piece. Wow.
A couple coats of black paint and a little distressing to go, and Phillip will have a little (well, BIG) piece of Nashville history for his new home office. Which leads to me to say...Phillip has a new job! This may be old news to many, but as I have been slow with the blogging lately, I realized that I hadn't officially "announced" it yet.
He is working for Walden University, a distance-learning school. He is employed as a Field Recruiter in the Advanced degree program in their college of Education. The coolest part is that he is now working from home! We have been working frantically to ready his office and get things set up for this new phase in our lives. So far, we have been transitioning really well, although Jack likes to go in and play trains on Daddy's office floor!
And with the addition of the new bookcase, he might just have a new place to crawl in and take a nap...
