Hurrah for harps

The Club GW outlet near my home,
is full-
some people may even call it a big building
 full of junk or garbage-

But, remember one man's junk
 may be another man's treasure...
or in my case,
 a woman's treasure!

I recently found a coffee table that was divine-
Her coat was abit tattered and somewhat torn
but her lines were lovely- so, so lovely...


Those beautiful carved harps
on her sides
 were simply to die for-

 I needed to make her a rich black
sleek, and smooth -




I so love her-
the lines, the harp, her stature!!lol-
(I'm sounding somewhat obsessive about this table!!)
I have no space for it-
possibly a table my daughter might like in her apartment-
who knows...all I knew was- it was coming home for a bath and a new hairdo,
and that's what it got!

The most amazing thing-
the price-
at the outlet it cost
 a whopping $1.99-

YIPPEE!!

crazy, I know, but crazy true!

She's a real beauty-
Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire

    Honest - my mouth dropped open at the price. I was already drooling over how you fixed it up. What a steal.

    I have quite a collection of Duncan Phyfe pieces with the harp design and I just love them all.

    Your table is amazing.

    I found your blog through the same party- Stuff and Nonsense, and I am a new follower.

    Gorgeous! I just picked up the matching side tables for 3.00! They're made by Mersman OR is it a DP? Mine look identical to yours. There are what they look like....

    http://tinyurl.com/3ew4guz They still are in pretty good shape so i'm not sure if I should paint them or not :|

    Found you by clicking around "the shabby nest" btw :)

    What a great find... and a bargain! We used to call GW "the Boutique" because some of my daughters' friends would turn up their nose whenever my daughter's would mention GW!
