St Vincent De Paul.. my new favorite store... somebody Stop me.!!!!!

Well of course I just had to stop by my local St Vincent De Paul store on my way home last night..  they had a whole new truckload of cool stuff... &  Just my luck there was some darn man loading it up just as I got there..  "greedy man"..    In all fairness it was after work and they told me they were getting a truck today.. so SHAME on ME..!!    I went to work instead of thrift shopping.. 
Someday hopefully it will be the other way around..

The upside is that there were a couple things that I had been eyeing  last week that were SITTING OUT BACK in the alley for the taking..because they didn't sell..   Is that unbelievalbe or what?    .. In all fairness I made the lady an offer.. and now it's mine.
It's the dresser I hate to love..    it's not even in bad shape..   
 Black or White.  any votes.??  

  I recently did one almost like it.. ..  .I made it white.
See..  here that one is with a little nite stand to match..  ..  this one has gone off to college .  Bye bye..
 This dresser stagnated in my garage  forever but I was kinda sad to see it go once I finished it. 
So of course when I saw it's twin sitting out back all lonely and unwanted..  I had to bring it home with me. 
My husband just rolled his eyes and said.. " oh no ,,,it's baaaack"  the dresser that won't go away..



My other find was this Big ole Edith Ann Rocker.. Make it black.???.  ya think? ??
I need some ideas on the seat tho.. the cane is ripped..    Can you buy the cane in sheets?? ..and where.??
 Maybe I'll just put a wood seat on it and be done with it..  I like it. 
And that's the Truth..

I sooo did not need any more projects..

 Yes,  I'll be going back..  
 I'll keep you posted on what I find. :)
St Vincent De Paul.. my new favorite store.

  1. what a great deal for $15! If this is anything like the one I have it is a very heavy and solid piece of furniture. I think black would look great, it would make a great buffet / side table for storage in a dining room
