Better Than Craigslist Find

So you lot guys know I'm supposed to survive working on my sleeping room for the One Room Challenge, but things come upwards up, too I instruct distracted too projection hop.

Last calendar week afterwards picking upwards the kids from school, nosotros turned on a street nosotros don't ordinarily drive downwardly inward the neighborhood to driblet a friend off at home.  And it was large trash day. And I spied a pretty breast with a pile of boxes on a curb.

We took our friend home, too I circled dorsum roughly the block to instruct a meliorate look.  After hopping out to lead hold a look, I wrangled my immature adult woman into helping me hoist it into the dorsum of the truck (it was HEAVY for these ii girls!).  Thus, the meliorate than Craigslist... it was FREE!

I tin give the sack nation it's old, antique, too a friend from Instagram suggested it mightiness survive a High German design.  There was a box on transcend filled with a marble slab all wrapped upwards that fits across purpose of the top, but it was broken too alone 1/2 of it was there.  The dorsum one-half of the transcend has a forest slice across it, too it looks similar at that topographic point was something attached at that topographic point at i time, but it's missing, too.  Also, the ii dorsum wheels were broken, but those are are pretty little things.  

I originally stopped to await because my parents too sis lead hold booths where they re-sell furniture, but past times the fourth dimension I got it loaded upwards I knew I'd survive keeping it.  The handles too exceptional on the forepart are gorgeous.  It only needs a low-cal sanding too re-coat of stain to restore it, too I intend I'll popular what's left of the transcend off too supervene upon it with a slice of marble for the entire top.  The forepart wheels that were ok are wooden casters, then I'm non certain if I'll supervene upon the dorsum ones or only take them all.  

So, I've spent the past times few days searching town for a marble remnant that won't intermission the bank.  Not much luck at rock yards, but I intend I've come upwards up with a solution.  Stay tuned...

I've had an oculus out to supervene upon this little dresser that's been inward the living room, 

and I intend this is only the piece.  I was cook to position a forest slice dorsum inward amidst all of the other painted slice of furniture inward the room.   Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 vision is forming inward my caput to brand this corner actually special.  I'm thinking something along these lines...
