A Good Find

Post Wide Yard Sales are incredible events. Two of my favorite days of the year, really. This fall I didn't shop much, because I wanted to sell. But this one find down the street made my day (even if my poor husband had to ask people off the street to help him carry it--it is massive and very solid!) Guess how much I paid for this buffet-- $20!!!!! Sure it needs a lot of work-the hardware was outdated and the finish was bad, but for $20 I knew I had to tackle it (even if it did cause a little maritial friction).

ready for the finished product? Even Jess didn't believe the transformation:

Ta Da!


With next to no money and a little work, our dining room has gone from "What are we going to do with a dining room-we havent' had one of those before?" to one of my favorite rooms in the house!

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle! That is great! Did you refinish it or paint it?
