The U Turn



You all know what I am talking about,.....

the big ol' U turn that you do, when you see a potential piece on the side of the road!  The one where the kids say, "Mom, don't stop!  You have the fleeting thought that you might be a little crazy, but the pitter patter in the ol thumper starts pittering a little faster, and patttering a little harder, and you just HAVE to stop.  Pull a Uuy and jump out....throw the piece into the car, and live with the consequences of the eye rolls, and husband's jeering when you get home.  And you say....


You'll see:)

My side of the road find.
Table that cost $0!

I am here to show you that this one was worth it.  I am here to prove that shopping on the side of the road is not so bad!  People throw things out all the time that they are tired of, that might be a little broken, or in this case was just ugly.  But, being true to my Penchant for Potential....I knew this would be a nice little piece.

All it needed was a little paint....white in this case. white.  I spray painted the hardware green and

VOILA!

Here's to finding your next diamond on the side of the road!

This was a uuey find?! I can't tell you how many times I've rubbernecked a pile of trash where I see what appears to be a decent piece of furniture. To date, I have not stopped yet, but this might just convince me to stop. It's perfect!!
