So worth the wait!

Hubby and I have been stalking a cute little number for the past several weeks.

Knowing when we first saw her, the timing was just not right.

So, we hid her, and hoped nobody else would find her while we patiently waited for the right time.

Every couple of weeks, we would stop by, finding her, making sure she was still there.....just waiting for us.

Then yesterday, during a spur-of-the-moment trip, I went to check on her.....

AND.....

The time was right!


Come to MAMA!

Just look at these legs...


Her bottom...


Her sides.....



GORGEOUS!

She's just missing ONE little thing.....



But I think THAT little problem can be fixed pretty quickly!

We initially thought we would paint it, but now that it is in the house, it matches our dining room furniture perfectly!

What do you think? Paint or leave "As Is"?

  1. Wow I can't believe you scored such a great table for such a great price. I think I need to start visiting TJ Maxx more often!

  2. I vote leave as is for now. You can always paint it later if you want. What's going in the middle?

  3. GET OUT!!! What a deal!! It's a great piece too!! I think it depends on where you're putting it- it would look great either way!

  4. Linda, I think we are going to either just have a piece of glass cut or put just a tile in it for now.

    Jenny, it's probably going in the living room between our two chairs.

  6. Oh no don't paint it....it's too pretty just like it is. She just needs a piece of beveled glass or tile or granite or something. What a great score! You go girl!!!!!

  7. What a GREAT deal!!!! I like it wood stained as it is now, but you can always paint it later if you choose. Just remember it's hard to switch it back to stained wood once the paint is on. Congrats on your awesome find!!!

  14. Stacey, we kind of "slid" it under another table, hoping that nobody else would look at at....but as we were walking off, a lady went right up to it, pulled it out and looked for a second before she walked away. When I found it yesterday, it was sitting right out in the open....I freaked because it was right out there for everyone to see....until I saw that price tag! :o)
