curbside find....

At the end of the season last year, I was walking past my neighbors house when I noticed this at their curb.
I was appalled they would get rid of it, but happy for me!

It was just too good to pass up.

She has some great curves and is really comfortable with a nice glide...

All she needs ( like the rest of us! ) is a little TLC....

I can't wait to see what you do with this. Funny thing...I have one just like it and am/was getting ready to take it to the dump. Maybe I better hang on to it for a while and see if mine can be saved with some TLC!!

Isn't that the best feelng!? Call me crazy...but I get more of a rush from a curb-side furniture find than if I brought a new piece home from Ethan Allen! ;o)

Speaking of that, I still have a couple pieces tucked in my warehouse with your name on them! We will have to get together one of these days so I can drop them off to you!

Coming to Kane this weekend?

What a pretty bench! Glad you saved it. My grandparents have a similar one, but without the pretty scroll-work.
