Photographer here! Well, I've been working diligently toward making Teddy look better than when I first found him. Lately, all I've done is done more sanding work on the piece and finally had warm enough weather to get a first coat of black paint on!
I've also taken apart one of the drawer fronts, have painted it black, and have set it aside for another project (the reveal will be later on).
Keep checking back for more progress!
