Ever heard that saying "good bones"? I have always loved that saying or in other words, it's structure is sound even if it's not the most beautiful object in the world. Take chairs for instance, they can be covered with the most hideous fabric in the world, but if it's got a decent structure to work with, the fabric is only on the surface, and can be easily changed. Well that's how I feel about furniture. Real solid wood furniture is rare today, so it's heart breaking when it ends up on the curb! Hello people, wood is also a sustainable resource!! It can be recycled with a little creativity!
This piece above was found recently along the side of a road while out shopping one Sunday morning. Who could beat the price for a solid wood piece of furniture right? FREE!!! Thank you oh grand and glorious god of thrift! The patio has been in need of a "sideboard" for a while now, and although it's not much to look at now, I can assure you that with some scrubbing, wood filler, new paint, a shelf where the missing drawers were, and some new hardware, this little cabinet will soon be bright and shiny again! Just washing it had made a world of difference to this piece that has some really good bones.
(See the round spot on top? That's the test to see if it would come clean!)
