@Desert Lily 

I admire your determination!  If those two pieces of furniture were not special before they are now with their new look and story Heart

I love this story!

And I'm sure the same thing would happen to me if I even tried! My "projects" are usually for naught!

 

Although, this one worked out and I am very proud! I'm not even kidding. I stood back and looked after only a few seconds...

first time in my life EVER it went as it'd planned.

Arrows point to the weather stripping!

it was freezing in my bedroom and when the "heat" came on it felt like a/c!

Now I'm toasty!

My father was not handy and neither was my husband. When he and I would attempt even the most simple project, the kids would say it's time to watch the comedy show.  😁

@LTT1  I have weather stripping I installed around the back door that looks like that. Maybe you & I are long-lost relatives LOL!
