Grabbed this from my next door neighbors trash...how convenient for me?? I have to admit though when I moseyed on over and grabbed it, I was praying no one would see me hauling it back to my garage. My name is Sue and I am garbage stalker!
I primed it and painted it with the left over paint from this side table because I loved the color and there was just enough left to do this piece.
Then distressed and glazed it. Thanks neighbor George!!

This is an amazing table! Why on earth would neighbor George want to throw it out???? Love the details!
I would be stalking too. What a great little piece.

I wouldn't let George see that piece, he'll want it back! Great job, I LOVE it!
Nice score and it turned out beautiful. You gave me a chuckle, too. Many years ago I spotted an old rocker with superb "bones" poking out of my neighbors woodpile. I was too embarassed to ask if I could have it so I asked if I could buy it. Mind you, all the upholstery was missing and it is in his woodpile. In the end I gave him $5 and dragged it home and I'm pretty sure he thought I was a little off from there on - LOL!
I seriously need to start looking curbside. Your post made me giggle... You saved the landfill and made it beautiful.
why don't my neighbor's throw away good stuff? i am in the wrong city! you really made that table beautiful- i bet your neighbors want it back!
Love love love! I cannot believe someone was gonna just throw that away? Great score for you!
Love your table! What a great find!
