Inquiring Minds ...

I "acquired" this from the new

neighbors. I believe it is a

nightstand. BUT I want to use

it as a side table by my chair

in our living room.

I will tell you it needed ALOT of

TLC. Ken put a new back on for me

and we had to tweek a couple of the

drawer runners but all the drawers

open and close fine now.

My question to YOU--my lovely

friends is "What would you do to

it to make it pretty?" There is alot

of partical board and veneer to

this little number. Ken's suggestion

is to take the whole top off and put

a new on on, then go from there.

In our living room, we have several

kinds of woods--we are not matchy

matchy where woods are concerned.

They are all in the medium brown

tone range though--not anything

really dark. I am also planning to

plug the existing holes from the

drawer pulls, drill new holes

(hopefully) and put new pulls on.

So....tell me your ideas. Can't wait!!!!

Lookie! Lookie!

As the tiltle says: Lookie! Lookie! I am sooooo excited to show you what I found today! These little treasures were FREE! Yes, I said FREE!

Mr. Ken and I were coming home from lunch and saw a

sign that said Everything Free---- I saw the fan first and thought (as we were driving by) I wonder if it works? I asked Ken what he thought and he thought it probably did since it wasn't in the trash pile. Sooooo we drove around the block and Ken pulled over and I went to look at it. I decided to grab it figuring

that if it didn'twork it was free.As I was standing at the

table I noticed the small white bowls in a box I grabbed

a few of them and went back to the car.

While driving off I was talking to Ken about what I put

in the trunk then the light bulb went off--I wonder what

else was in the box sooooo back we went around the block!

Ken pulled over and I got out, grabbed the box and

picked up a brand new bagel slicer too!!!!!

When we got home I went through the box AND much to

my surprise was a complete set of beautiful white dishes!

There were 6 each--dinner plates, dessert plates, small and medium bowls. I could not believe it!

Hopefully you can see them--they have a ring of dots on the rim then a ring of \\ lines and a ring of dimples on the last row.

Of course, I need another set of dishes like I need a hole in my

head but hey they were FREE! By the way the fan does work.

Never ever pass up any free table even if it is outside.

I know I won't.
