I would be snatching up this brass wheeled wood bar cart to makeover the heck out of it.
With a little bit of work, I think this would be a rocking party piece. Too bad I don't have the spot for it.
This is my second 'if i were a hoarder...' post (read the first here) and Ive sucessfully restrained myself twice so I'm going to pat myself on the back for my willpower but I definitely struggle.
Have you restrained yourself from scooping up some craigslist or flea market find? How do you stay disciplined?
This made me laugh because I always say I am fighting that battle -
ReplyDeleteNot easy at all - sometimes I have to stop myself mid sentence ( from sending the seller an email ) and walk away from the computer.
And if it's still there the next day it's even harder!!!
Maybe that's why I have such a morbid interest in the show Hoarders, lol
Great find and great discipline. My problem is I have no discipline and tend to "collect" things, especially furniture!
ReplyDeleteTami @ Curb Alert!
Um yeah. That would have come home with me and I DEFINITELY don't have room for it!! You have great willpower, my friend :-)
ReplyDeleteI usually stay disciplined by looking at my bank account and counting how many bathrooms still don't have a toilet. Congrats on your restraint.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know how you walked away from that! I might have been tempting to find a spot for it.
ReplyDeleteI literally have nowhere to put anything so that helps me restrain myself. It would be an awesome piece to refinish.
ReplyDeleteAnd it would have looked so amazing painted in a high gloss tangerine or lemon yellow! (Says a fellow hoarder.) ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou passed it up for $25!!! I would have snatched that up so fast, never mind I don't really need it but it sure would make a good cart for my scanner/printer in my office.
ReplyDeleteI must channel all my power of self control to keep from pulling over every time I see a piece of furniture on the side of the road.
ReplyDeleteI am terrible at willpower. The only way I can restrict myself is through self imposed spending freezes where I can only buy necessities and do NOT allow myself to enter a Target. When the floodgates open, there is no turning back.
ReplyDeleteI love this!! My husband's dad has a little shop where he sells all kinds of things. He knows I enjoy redoing furniture and has offered to sell anything I create. The problem is letting go!! I just scored some bamboo style kitchen chairs and table that I'm planning to try to sell...but they would look so good in my kitchen...
ReplyDeleteYeah....soooo many times, I also don't have a square inch left! Sometimes I think of opening up a store...so I can keep shopping for re-do's!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm not sure I would have been able to pass it up. I generally collect things like that and resell in the future. Nice find though!
ReplyDeleteAck, I don't have a spot for it either, but I couldn't pass it up! It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the bar cart! I don't think I could have resisted. I have to hold myself back ALL of the time and remind myself I live in a bungalow! It's so hard when you find great pieces that could be FAB pieces with a little TLC. Love that you shared!
ReplyDeleteWell I AM a hoarder and it would be parked in my hoard room as we speak. Just saying. Such great potential (smile).

Ugh yes I'm like this with chairs - I'm not allowed to look at chairs anymore! I don't know what it is about them but I just love them!. I could have found a place for that bar cart though!
