Love the dumpster dive----one of my fav pieces in our house is an old oak dresser that I picked up free over 40 yrs ago. It has been moved to loads of houses over many moves and from one bedroom to another as we "upgraded" and now sits in our sixth grandchild's room after going through his five older siblings' rooms first!

The picture of Jack & his cousin is so sweet and so powerful. And the dumpster dive piece is divine! I totally agree with you, I would not change one inch of that beauty.
