Hit the Brakes!

My daily route to the bank and post office takes me past a two block area that is a treasure trove of antique stores and consignment shops. About 8 to 10 of them are in this concentrated area. Over the years I have had some great finds out of these shops. So lately they have taken the practice of setting some of their items outside to draw in customers. Dangerous- to me that is!
Yesterday I was driving by heading home when I spotted the corner of an interesting piece through the open door. Hit the brakes and ...you know the rest.
This 1920's mahogany linen press just made it out of a container from Europe. Its going to house the new flat screen TV for our wing back room. Its low enough that we could serve from it during a party and has 2 drawers and movable shelves. Its perfect for us. Can't wait to bring it home!

Well...I was thinking they could be the base for the built-in bookshelves we are making. But then we need stainable matching veneer from Allen and Allen and we would HAVE to restain the library ladder darker.

Sorry London, I can't tell you to restrain youself. This is just too beautiful. I'd be so broke, but well furnished if I had to pass these shops everyday.

Kwana- thank you. I'm going to try to behave. At least for know.

Hi. I was tagged by Carolina Eclectic and, if you're interested, I'm tagging you. I followed CE's A - Z theme. You can see it on my 3/29 post "H is for Hometown".
