Restoration

Before and after – can you believe the difference? It took weeks but this old chair looks like new now. This is what I do with my days: I take broken things and I fix them. I sand and adjust, I varnish and paint and search for parts. I match colours, I repurpose, sometimes I even make a new part from scratch when what is needed is simply missing. It is healing for me to stand back and admire a finished project. If an old chair or chest of drawers can become like new with nothing more than some love and attention, then perhaps there is hope for me.
I’m broken and I know it. But I turn to God for healing and hope, and that’s why I do this – to share that with you.
