From Vanity to End Tables

I love big trash day mostly for the possibility of there being something great, but not because I usually find anything worth taking.  Usually its - well, for lack of a better term - trash!

But this month was different.  This month that persons trash was my treasure.  Here's what was sitting across the street from my house:

I didn't get a chance to get over there all day, but was itching to know what it was, so after yoga my two lovely sisters-in-law went to check it out and report back.  I do not need more furniture, but for something this great (and free!), I will find a place.

It was obviously missing the mirror, but the only thing wrong with it, besides a few dings, was that it was missing one of the eight wheels.  It has all the original hardware, the drawers work and the details on the front are beautiful.

The middle shelf unscrewed easily from the sides to make two end tables the perfect height.  Just a little sanding and staining where the shelf came off, a wheel from the antique mall and some orange oil and elbow grease and VOILA!

Two beautiful new end tables.
