There aren't just sad little Christmas trees curbside this week. This solid wooden table has been here all week, in a well-known trash pile I walk by every morning, which is behind a neighbouring apartment.
By solid, I mean heavy solid wood. Look, there are even extensions and legs, the whole shebang, just waiting to be picked up by someone.
I can't really believe no one picked it up. The garbage was collected the other day and I don't think any one had salvaged it by then. I really do hope someone saved it in the nick of time, as they say. How sad that it could be making its way to the dump at this very moment. If I didn't have three tables already, I would have considered it, believe me!!
Such a sad sight! I would imagine that's on someone's wish list too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame. They probably got their dream table for Christmas from Ikea or where ever the most trendy place is now days. I really could have fixed this up beautiful by re sanding and refinishing it which is what I love to do in my spare time. I have rescued some awful pieces which have turned out beautiful. Real hardwood for fake laminate or glass tops. Awful.
ReplyDeleteSixBaloons, it was so hard leaving it there. Hope someone nabbed it.
ReplyDeleteOops. SixBalloons.
ReplyDeleteThe Witch, I know. I'm not handy at all but gee, my imiagination transformed this one too! And solid wood -- soo hard to find those these days for a decent price and style. You're right, we're becoming such a price-conscious society that we (well, not **we** literally) fail to recognize **true** value and fill our houses with mediocre junk. So sad.
