I figured might as well give it a shot since it was free! If it hadn't worked out I would have salvaged as much of the upholstery as I could and the spindly wood pieces for other projects.<br /><br />TaniaTaniahttp://www.littlevintagecottage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2943220635153251861.post-765270567593001442017-05-22T18:35:56.069-07:002017-05-22T18:35:56.069-07:00Thanks Tuula!

I too am a 'dumpster diver'. I have a beautiful solid pine drop leaf dining table, it was on the street with a sign saying 'free. take me'. I had to enlist the help of a random passing stranger to help me load it into my car - I know - I have no shame! I also got a rocking chair out of a skip on someones drive (I did knock and ask if I could have it), that is now fully refurbished and in my living room. Don't be shy - most people think you are doing them a favour as they don't have to take it all the way to the tip.Lesley Spencernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2943220635153251861.post-37795325102638533392017-05-21T05:56:00.918-07:002017-05-21T05:56:00.918-07:00I need you to live closer to me so we can go toget...I need you to live closer to me so we can go together!

I'...Tania, you did a great job on that chair! <br /><br />I'm never too embarrassed to stop and grab anything off the street. I'll even go up and knock on the door to ask if I can take stuff sometimes. I did that a few weeks ago when the people had a pile of stuff and then they ended up inviting me into the house to look at some other furniture. (which I'd never go into a strangers house normally but my husband was in the truck so I figured I was safe) Anyway, I got my biggest haul of free furniture EVER from that house.
