Love getting a great bargain like that. High end yard sales rule. We are thinking about holding our first one ever this spring. Craigs list responders always flake out on us - ugh! I have never heard of that polystain - but it looks and sounds amazing. If you don't stain it, I would paint it white or a bright color to match your room. I'm really into painted furniture right now! Can't wait to see what you decide to do! Ooh very nice job there Liz! Love getting a great bargain like that. High end yard sales rule.

To be honest, I didn't try to bargain with the sellers because I thought it was such a great deal - that $10 was burning a hole in my pocket! After doing a little thinking, I'm leaning towards going after this beauty with a little polystain, a la Katie's approach here: http://allbowerpower.blogspot.com/2009/03/slain-with-polystain.html. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out! ~ Liz Lauren,

Did you try to bargain with the sellers? Are you going to try to save and repair the finish before the painting? What a super canvas on which to use your creativity!

It has been a bit neglected since we moved in so I've been hesitant to post a pic of it in its pitiful state, but I think I need to just suck it up and post one. Hopefully people won't judge too harshly. :) Thanks for stopping by! ~ Liz Katie,
