About 2 years ago I went garage saling with 2 friends in Dumas. I LOVE finding a good deal, as I have mentioned. We got up at about 6am, drove in to Amarillo and searched all morning for treasures. I had not found anything by late morning, and as we pulled into one last garage I wasnt feeling hopeful. But- as I walked up the driveway, this caught my eye.
I saw potential. And it was an amazing bargaining price of $25.00! It used to be an old record player. I love antiques even more than I love garage sales- I knew I had to have it! After a little (ok-alot) of time spent sanding and painting, Im very happy with my red friend.
Here was her first home, in Dumas.
Here she is brightening up our apartment here in Dallas.
In the future she may get a new color of paint, but I will definately be keeping her around for a while!

What a great find! I would have NEVER saw that potential...but it looks AWESOME!
You have officially enchanted my wife. Now she wants to go dumpster diving, I mean, garage saling with you in hopes of finding a treasure. I hope you're happy with the level of expectation that you've set in her little heart. Will you be there if she falls? I sure hope so...
Totally kidding. Kind of. She's motivated now and wants to go find us somtin'.

What a great little piece, Laura! It may not store records anymore, but I'll bet its a helpful storage piece, too.
