This redo was submitted by one of Better After’s rare male readers! (Hello male readers! You are probably in the minority, but I’m so very glad you’re here!)
Thomas de-countrified this hunter green/pine combo with black paint and dark stain. Looks great and manly, I’d even say.
And hey, is that a signed picture of Lance Armstrong? You’d better believe it. Thomas worked for the bike company that sponsors Lance, so he’s got the hookup yo.
