Deal of the Day!!


This is my deal of the day!!! I was out and about just loafing around town. I stopped in at my favorite little antique shop " A Classy Flea." I have to tell you I LOVE this place. The store is always getting things new in , therefore it makes my visits always interesting.
I was strolling along and turned the corner and there "SHE" was, the most awesome buffet piece I had ever seen. I fell in love with her immediately. Although she did have a few blemishes , she was still so beautiful. I pondered a while and decided to take a peek inside her! LOW and BEHOLD she had been damaged. Her back was almost all gone and what was left was jagged. POOR THING....
Her original price tag was $799 .. but since she was cripled it was defintely lower than that. They were asking $239, I still wasn't sure. Therefore, I left and called my friend Misty to get her opinion. Of course I text her a picture of "HER" and she viewed the picture and told me I was crazy if I didn't go back to get her.
I took a chance and waited 2 1/2 long days before I went back to the store. It was sooooo long, I even lost sleep over it Sunday night. I went back on Wednesday and went to the spot where she would have been. OH NO, " I thought, someone thought she was beautiful too and took her home." Luckily, whe was in a different spot waiting for me... Can you believe it? Neil replaced her back in a matter of one trip to Home Depot, a little spray paint, and a few screws, all in about 30 minutes. I now have this awesome piece of furniture to go in my dining room . (PS I am not the best photograper, hehe). It came from http://www.ballarddesigns.com/.
