Two miles away someone was offering to give away a Mid-Century Modern table and 4 chairs with yellow seats. Two other people wanted it. I made an effort to get it. So yesterday, not only did we get the table top apart from the legs to load it in a van, but I also got to take away 4 yellow placemats and a picture with a some yellow.
Three reasons why I wanted these:
1. I don't have a table and chairs and couldn't afford to spend $200 or more on a new set.
2. My little condo is all grey and white and I've been needing some "sunshine" to boost my spirits.
3. If I rent my condo the tenant will expect a table and chairs, among other furnishings. This will help.
I do need to sand, and then spray-paint the chair frames and table legs, but that will have to wait until fall. Summers here are too hot to do physical work outdoors. Still, it makes me think I could make some money spiffing up old furniture this winter. (In high school I painted and stained old furniture for my room.)
