That is me....screaming....(can you hear me yet?)...because those pieces are amazing...and you found them, not me. ;)<br /><br />I always, always look in people's piles. Sometimes I drive by multiple times, very s-l-o-w-l-y just to get a 2nd or 8th look. One of my fave little pieces was sitting upside down in the wet grass.<br /><br />Just so you know...my hub is not on board with this "free" furniture idea. But, he's become a bit fonder of Craigslist finds and we have quite a few of those around here that I've redone.<br /><br />You have a gorgeous home and beautiful pieces to work with. Can't wait to see it all spiffied up. Yes, I just said spiffied. :)Gail@Sophisticated Stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173434362142173898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-83877757662473764782012-02-06T22:17:47.722-05:002012-02-06T22:17:47.722-05:00that buffet table is to die for! and i second ever...that buffet table is to die for! and i second everyone on gasping at your entrance- the stairs, the woodwork, the floors! stunning!lyndsay @ Mr and Mrshttp://lmcniff.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-14440715217362543392012-02-06T10:11:40.161-05:002012-02-06T10:11:40.161-05:00I really like the buffet!

While fiction, part of the details are true.
