A Boiler bursts and then…..

on February 23, 2010 in Bliss St Blog Comments Off

What happens when your parents’ boiler busts and destroys your mom’s china cabinet?

Well if you are my dad you try to fix it and move it to a new “safer” location. If you are my brother you use the new empty space for a bigger TV after debating it the right size with the rest of the family. If you are me you try to talk your mother into replacing it with a solid wood vintage piece that will last longer than anything that can be bought today.

And if you are my guy? Well you buy one and give it to her as a gift.

Look are what he bought today :)

It’s solid wood handcrafted and the perfect size. It’s not that old but it is a quality piece.

So what do you think? Think she would like it? He’s going to surprise her on Friday.
