The Monster

Caroline
A very good friend of ours gave us this monster. I don't know what to call it because it is not a chest of drawers nor is it a set of cabinets. It is huge and massive. The carpenter was very enthusiastic about making it solid and matching up the grain in the pine wood. Solid means extraordinarily heavy. Therefore - the Monster.

I think most Swedes have an aversion to varnished yellow pine wood. In the 70's it was very popular to decorate the whole kitchen with pine wood (see picture below) - just writing about it gives me a panic attack. So due to this emotional distress I had to do something about it. I have other bigger plans for
