The auction started today at 4pm, I sat for four straight hours- starving as they went through about 100 other pieces of furniture and some hideous figurines to get to this beauty- everything was going ridiculously high but I held out knowing i would beat myself up if it went for what I was willing to pay. I am cheap when it comes to home decor- especially since I get most things at yard sales/estate sales, but I was so in love with this that I told myself I was willing to go to $400, I looked on eBay and etsy and determined it was well worth this. When they got to this piece- I felt sick- especially after watching at least 20 people go look at it, open its drawers, inspect it close while I whispered "back away." Bidding started at $50 and ended with my bid of $275 :)
I called my grandma after I won exclaiming my excitement and she suggested I get glass cut to fit the top and put an old map underneath- brilliant!
This will now probably be with me until I die and my children are like "What the heck do we do with this? And who's going to want 421 mason jars?"
Are those slipcovers on the sofa and chair and where did you find them?
