I am a junker. I love the hunt. It's not even about the money any more, although I love to find a deal. I really love it when I can see something wonderful amid the junk and garbage.
So a couple of Saturdays ago, with a little extra time on my hands, I stopped into my local Salvation Army to see if there was anything I could find to repurpose.
I had hardly walked around the corner when I saw them.... A set of rattan coffee tables!
Check these out!
But here's the best part.....
SCORE!!
Based on the research I've done, these are vintage 1960's from the high-end McGuire furniture company.
I didn't find these exact same tables as I was researching, but I did find these McGuire tables on 1st Dibs....
.....and they are selling for $2,400 !!!!
Ask me what I paid....
go ahead....ask me.....
$19.00 for the pair!!!
Did I say SCORE!!
Although they are in pretty good shape, there certainly was some wear and tear. All the rattan was perfectly attached and the 1/2" glass looked really good.
But I didn't want to live with old brown tables...even if they are McGuire.
I know I probably killed the resale value of the tables, but I pulled out my trusty paint brush and went to town.
TA DA !!
Aren't they awesome!!
