Burn Out!

Katie’s dining situation was dire.  Her attention in this room had been spent on replacing the floors and repainting formerly pepto pink walls, and the furniture needs got neglected for a while.  A borrowed table, five mismatched folding chairs, and one lonely refinished chair had occupied the space for way too long, until one day she snapped!  No more!
