My Precious Desk

So it really took this long to get my desk "done" (="back"). Over month?!! Month ago I could have never expected that varnishing a single table would take that long but maybe I was being a bit too naïve. Sometimes it feels like my family would gather it's living power from all kinds of projects and this time my table ended up being one object of this noteworthy interest. For a start, I thought that I would have done all the work by myself from choosing the colour to varnishing but my parents enjoy woodworks and so - for I left my home for a day to visit my friend - we made a deal that they could do the first varnishing.

When I finally (I was absent only one day!) got back home, I was awaited by a can of mahogany varnish instead of the walnut one I had chosen in the first place. It cleared that my father had just misunderstood me and thought that I had chosen a wrong colour by a mistake and so, he had felt like revising this very mistake and replaced my "black" colour with red one. Nevertheless, this problem grew a bit and I and my father ended up having several serious conversations on topics like "Is mahogany red?" (I didn't want to have a red table. There is enough red elsewhere in our house, already.) and "Walnut or black? The difference inbetween." (My father sincerely thought (and thinks still...?) that such difference doesn't even exist.) It felt really strange (stupid) because I only rarely really debate with my father on anything - and then we found ourselves debating on colours. x D


Now, as a result after a month is that my table is pretty close to black.

O__________O"

Ingredients for this specific colour are following *sigh*:

2 layers of mahogany varnish
1 or 2 layer(s) of walnut varnish (cannot even remember the amounts anymore)
2 layers of transparent varnish
1 glass pane on top of all this because my parents apparently don't want to varnish my table over again very soon. And neither do I, actually.

.......

Nevertheless, we're all content with it. Everyone had a change to keep their head and have their colour done. :-----D (And I can move back to my room and have some real work done! Sorry for procrastinating. :'D )
