Formica

While savoring the dark chocolate ice cream at the Deli, we all took a peek at Kong's latest handiwork, as executed by Andy, the local handyman.  Once I saw it, I knew that Kong's brilliance in furniture restoration will bring a new excitement to Annella's move to San Juan.  In the late 1950s, Kong made a wooden chest of drawers on steel legs for the old house of Gwamy in Carola, which Tita Carmen had been using until her death a few years ago.  Of course, over the years, the piece had already deteriorated just like the Carola house.  Just yesterday, this drawer was fully restored by Kong, in the original white with matching gold trim, and don't forget--new drawer locks!  The stroke of genius is in the use of Formica as cladding.  It looks so clean and so sleek, simply chic; Kong has truly outdone himself and has improve on his own creation, 60 years later!  Surely a great addition to Tony & Annella's new home!
