Spontaneous Purchases
Steve & I stopped by his aunt & uncle's garage sale on Saturday morning (they're moving to Florida soon) to see what there was. They're not taking most of their big furniture. Steve was interested in a wheelbarrow, but that was gone by time we got there.
Instead we ended up with a new (old) dining room table! And a buffet! Both items were Steve's grandmother's (as was the house before his uncle lived there) so there is some sentimental value too. We're planning on recovering the chair seats & modifying the backs of them (a little triming, a little painting) to something more our style. We already replaced the tired hardware on the buffet. (pictured is the new hardware).
We also ended up with a "new" ironing board, a shovel, some planters, gardening gear and some adorable cordial glasses (also his Grandma's). We weren't planning on making this purchase, but the price was too good to pass up!
