What You Might Find on a Sidewalk in Berkeley

Our new dining room table and metal chairs from Cost Plus | DuctTapeAndDenim.comRemember our trip to Berkeley several weeks ago?  We were walking down the sidewalk between antique stores and saw a sign that said, “FREE”.  Behind it was a stack of furniture and 4 black shutters.  I couldn’t believe that someone was giving all that away.  It’s a good thing I didn’t have a truck or a garage or lots more would have come home with me, too.

Today I cleaned them up a bit, took off the hinges, & added hangers to the back.  Jordy helped me hang them.

BTW, what do you think of our bench?  lol…  The table is new.  We had to take the back seat of the van out to get it in.  Then when we moved the table in we sat down & decided to leave the van seat there so everyone would have a place to sit until we found more seating.

So let me know if you have a bench for sale.  Maybe I should go back to Berkeley and see if I can find a free bench on the sidewalk!
