While helping a friend with her master bedroom update we were both on the prowl for new nightstands. We looked through a million websites and catalogs and stores. We found a lot of them that would "work" but nothing that really excited us. We were on a budget and weren't really interested in buying new. We decided we'd take our time and find just what we wanted. One night while on Craigslist, I spotted two matching antique walnut nightstands. They had an amazing shape but a dark, dated finish and boring hardware. I think the seller only wanted $60 or so for the pair. The nighstands had just been posted a few minutes before I saw the ad. I was so excited I couldn't stand it! I called the seller right away to see when I could pick them up. The seller told me they had just been sold. SOLD? SOLD!?? I wanted to cry.
As soon as I hung up my phone rang. It was my friend Sue. She told me she'd just found the perfect nightstands on Craigslist. I described the nightstands to see if they were the ones I'd just seen. They were. I sadly told her they'd just barely sold. When she told me she was the one who'd just bought them I about died. What luck! I'd get to refinish them after all.
