Tuesday

cue the getaway music

two years probation.  that's what i could get for taking this table off somebody's lawn if it wasn't meant to be taken.
after some debate jenn and i decided that it was closer to the curb than to the house and that constitutes 'out for garbage'.  plus, it was quite dusty so i didn't care for the way they looked after this wonderful little thing.  the house also had a charming chair out front but since it was on the porch and had a half read paperback on it jenn put her foot down and decided the chair was not up for grabs... or debate.

  2. sigh... i have that same internal debate every weekend..."omg is it up for grabs?" "No, Krystie, its just a family that likes to  entertain outside, put that chaise lounge back on their lawn". lol. i totally feel you. this is a score though!

     haha. Good thing you didn't get caught. I can just see them, "wait come back here with my under-appreciated table"

  7. I LOVE pulling furniture from the trash. Anytime we drive by trash with furniture in it I make my husband go by for a second time and he always tries to get me to stop but I love finding treasures!

    Totally saw a mid-century modern end table just like this on a lawn in my neighbourhood! A couple weeks ago, when I was out for a jog...The corners weren't rounded though, and it had these metal handlebar looking things on it. I still regret not picking it up and jogging home with it!

  23. next time, do not even hesitate! it's like when you're at the thrift store... throw it all in the cart and edit at the end. regret is the worst! xoxo
