estate sale score

I never have trouble walking into an estate sale and finding something I want, but it isn't everyday that I find something I actually NEED. (there's that whole need vs want struggle again).<br /><br />I ran into this particular estate sale on Sunday afternoon, so it had already been going on for 2 days and the house was majorly picked over. I was so sure I wouldn't find anything that Luke and the girls stayed in the car while I did a quick scout. I was running thru in record time with nothing good to pick up until I walked upstairs and found this.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWgbZzYNUGORkuE0iVRhLC2ij3ZK_KqifAqv1uzoipfYb7Y0PHX1Q6f-F_tsv-MLX4k8D7me9WHBGDg1yABS2X0ojquztXP2AoIU3GztRK8uaPm9aOC817NTzaNeO0uWwv93yFzpyBMPED/s1600/IMG_0823.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWgbZzYNUGORkuE0iVRhLC2ij3ZK_KqifAqv1uzoipfYb7Y0PHX1Q6f-F_tsv-MLX4k8D7me9WHBGDg1yABS2X0ojquztXP2AoIU3GztRK8uaPm9aOC817NTzaNeO0uWwv93yFzpyBMPED/s640/IMG_0823.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">crooked iphone picture</td></tr></tbody></table>A dresser for the girls' room has been on my 'hunt list' for a while and this one is perfect. Not only is it already perfectly painted in a non-offensive color (very hard to find if you frequent estate sales), but the drawers open and close as if it was a brand new piece of furniture (a pet peeve of mine), and it had a $100 check from 1973 stuck to the bottom of the top drawer. All of this for the low low price of $70!<br /><br />The estate sale ladies were so nice they even threw in the mirror above it for free and watched the girls for us while Luke and I trucked it down the winding stairs and out to the car.<br /><br />I took it home and put it to use right away. I don't even know what to do with all this storage. I'm giddy!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQw61SqP2Ql8L8JrF3H3Lwg0yu6UclJvCx4VaNoJ6ZurQ4SFjNf9RNoUuaQHM0XTrGNkMuusATBERHGm3wmHMW-iUN_dwaEWgE1CIjWmp1yWwynX6u2DTBkbJ3zrdn9OmXrvrivYxFZc2/s1600/P2063703.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbQw61SqP2Ql8L8JrF3H3Lwg0yu6UclJvCx4VaNoJ6ZurQ4SFjNf9RNoUuaQHM0XTrGNkMuusATBERHGm3wmHMW-iUN_dwaEWgE1CIjWmp1yWwynX6u2DTBkbJ3zrdn9OmXrvrivYxFZc2/s640/P2063703.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><br />Along with this score, I also managed to get a painting project done and we made headway on another lighting project for the dining room. More on those things later.<br /><br />Here is to a week of crossing things off the list!
