More Burl

July 29th, 2010

Maybe I picked up another burl wood table off of Craigslist. Maybe its a small one that is a perfect match of the other small burl table chilling in the bedroom. Maybe they are going to be nightstands, who knows! What of it?

Maybe I spent my only day off this week picking up said table from a lady on houseboat. Maybe because “Gary” sucks.

Yeah Gary. I’m giving it to you. HARD.

I’m not even sure how to start explaining this whole mess. Let us just say it is in progress and leave it at that.

    I’m so tempted to do this too. And by this, I mean buy things when they strike my fancy from craigslist and then come up with a plan afterwards . . . my husband insisted we have a “no more furniture” rule until we know if we’re moving or not :(

    Vintage shopping is not like normal shopping. A matching burl wood side table might not come along again, ‘Gary’. I cannot possibly miss a week at the auction because some day there WILL be two Cherner chairs fallen on hard times, mouldy and unloved, hoping for a good home. Then you’ll be sorry ‘Mike’. So what if they were never available in Ireland? THAT’S NOT THE POINT.

    Maybe you need to sweep your floors especially right behind that gorgeous burl side table. ;)

    Yeah, the master bedroom is all sorts of filthy right now. It’s a disaster pit in the middle of getting all redesigned.

    that was a pretty tacky comment. the wink doesn’t make it alright.

    At first glance I thought that was fried chicken!
    I thought this would be an entry on you taking a beach picnic. Tsk, tsk.
    Here’s hopping you’ll have a beach vacation soon!

    Best blog comment of the decade: “I thought that was fried chicken.”

    Got Craigslist woes? Danish Mafia infiltrating your ‘hood?

  13. THE BRICK HOUSE on July 29, 2010:

    Burl wood is not as delicious as fried chicken. I know that for a fact.

    Nope. Lazy friend woes. I begged someone to pick up the table for me in SD since he was driving out to my house in the afternoon. Wouldn’t do it, not for money or dinner or beer.

    Showed up at my house empty handy. Dick move.

    Not even a bucket of KFC, huh?
    Loser. I’m so over you, Gary.

    Put down the burled wood and keep your hands where we can see them. Consider this an intervention.

    Nice and organic. I wonder if dust has a tendency to collect in all those nooks and crannies. Aren’t they hard to clean?

    It must be exhausting being so awesome. That sounds sarcastic, but I’m serious.

    Love it. And I know you won’t spray paint white like half the blogs I’ve seen today. Must purge blog list-
