Clunky, Chunky Furniture


I once heard an alcoholic addict compulsive overeater refer to himself as a "chunky drunky junky".

Our new Mexican furniture is chunky and clunky - and we LIKE it that way.

It's "new" Mexican furniture, not New Mexican furniture. It's also NEW because it is "new", but it doesn't LOOK new - like our new fence (that we're still waiting on) that is coming pre-rusted, this "new" furniture is coming pre-faded and "distressed". Sort of like buying jeans pre-faded and torn, and Vermonters buying their Subarus pre-dented and rusted.

(When I told Floyd that we were getting this Mexican furniture because "I like things that are old and clunky and rusted", he said "just like Ethel Puckett, huh?" Floyd hasn't been seen since.)

Here's the dresser -

              


(that picture on top - that looks like a smiling baby Buddha - is Silas in his baptismal gown : )

This is the armoire - although that's a French word, so is it still an armoire, or is there a Mexican word for this?

                                         

....and the coffee table (I'm pretty sure that clunky Mexicans drink coffee)

                        

That's all for now - we have to run out the door and jump in the car and drive to Purgatory. More later.
