'Roadkill' turned bedside table

My husband hates it when I pick up 'roadkill'! When I 'dumpster' dive! But, I LOVE it!!!  Nothing beats the feel of 'saving' a furniture life! Getting something for FREE....especially furniture!!! I love fancy furniture. Pieces with scrolls and good lines...It can be expensive!

I don't mind if it's dirty...


 If' it's dark and worn...


Nothing a little elbow grease and paint can't clean up....


So, my husband should feel good when I pick up 'roadkill', right?

  3. That's the best roadkill I've ever seen. The poor thing must really be happy to be rescued by you! I've just become your newest friend and follower and hope you will stop by.
