The one that got away

I am DEVASTATED.

I found this little lovely at my local Goodwill...it's just *begging* for a makeover, isn't it???

All that awesome detailing...it was super sturdy and *heavy*...and those pulls are just *RAD*. 

But being the ninny head that I am, I decided I better think on it, I mean 20 bucks is a lot of money in a thrift store, right? 

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Of course when I decided the next day that I couldn't live without it, it was looooong gone.

And this is my ode to the one that got away.
I think we have all learned a valuable lesson: 

DON'T THINK, JUST BUY THE DARN THING!!!


And...you might be wondering, DID I GO TO THE WRONG BLOG???
Nope.
Just some fabulous changes going on around here (c:
More on that on Monday!!!

    Gah, I hate when that happens! So often I'll do that and for years, I'll think "If I had just bought that ______...". Love the new look, very chic!

    Yaaay! Love the new design!! It looks very posh and delightful! ;)

    and I over think buying things too and always end up wanting it later, only to come back to the store with dread in my face when I find out it's gone! booooo!

    Digging the new look. If it makes you feel any better I still think about this three tier chrome and glass shelf unit I passed up almost a year ago. It was perfect.

    "see" you tomorrow!

    Oh, I have done this so, so many times! Chairs, furniture, fabric, you name it. I think I'm slowly learning though...

    I have a rule that I can never walk away from something in a secondhand store that I love because it is likely to disappear very quickly if I stop to think about it for a second. I figure even if I don't end up using it, I can give it to someone who will!

    Oh man! Whenever I have non-buyers remorse (which is totally worse that normal buyers remorse) I convince myself the piece was haunted. It makes everything a little better. :)
