maryland pickers.

so apparently i've been on a real furniture kick this week. allow me to introduce to you our other furniture-find of the week:

i have no idea where this particular gal is going to live for realsies, but i just love her little round feet so much that she just had to come home with us! at the moment she is fitting very nicely into that corner of our fireplace room.  and even if we don't like her or we can't find the perfect place for her, we haven't really lost anything, because we picked her up for free on the side of the road.

yeah, you heard me right. i totally trash-picked that computer desk.

she was left sitting all alone and forlorn at the bottom of our neighbor's driveway. out with the trash. except that the trash guys had already come and gone for the day, and she was still there. passed over by even the trash guys. i don't know that it gets much lower than that. so on my way to work, i enlisted the hubs to help me load her into the back of my car and off we went! i think the neighbors might have actually watched us take her. we are officially those neighbors.

and yes, she's not the most high quality piece of furniture (hello, particleboard!) and she does need a little bit o' lovin' but i dont think its anything that some wood filler and a fresh coat of paint and maybe some new hinges can't fix. so here's to turning trash into treasure - we'll be sure to let you know how (and if) she turns out!
