The current space used by 6th & Vine for its storage is soon to be renovated as part of the expansion of nearby Finnegan's Wake, and so Kathleen Barnes (the owner) needed some things to be gone. That's how I lucked out and got the bench pictured above, which is the perfect length to sit in front of the front parlour bays on the downstairs porch. I spent the better part of Valentine's Day afternoon, when the weather was unseasonably gorgeous, removing a kazillion staples and the fabric covering that was attached to much of the bench, and now it awaits weather-treating and a bit of sanding on the rough spots. It's sturdy but light enough for two to move it wherever a given event might most require it.
