While perusing the KSL ads yesterday I came upon this beauty.I just couldn't believe my eyes.
Look at the size of this lovely!
The seller explained it is a bookcase from an orphanage in California.
And then I wondered what was the story to get it to Utah.
The price was listed at $3,000.
And because I do not have $3,000 to spend on such a beautiful piece
and
because I don't even have a wall big enough to fit a piece like this
I
just graciously sent them an email and told them how fond I was of their treasure
and
although I could not afford it at this time I was admiring it from afar.
Within a few hours it was gone.
No longer listed.
Sold.
wow! it would just MAKE a den, wouldn't it... wonder if it went to a shop or a home?

Wow! It was a beauty, but at $3000, a little out of my price range too. I love looking at the ksl ads. There's always something fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a beautiful piece. I wonder how big the home is where it is going;

Just a beautiful piece and you would have worked your magic with it but i agree that price is a bit high. Maybe someday my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a HUGE piece of furniture. Can you imagine what it could've looked like when you were all done with it, well I guess so, that's why you were drooling over it.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing...but at least it is sold, so it isn't dangling infront of your face anymore.
Gorgeous! Did you see the vintage card catalog on KSL yesterday! I think it was in Brigham City. Love yuor blog

ReplyDeleteMy heart started to do a pitter patter because I thougth YOU had it...well, at least someone does and IT is no longer an orphan! Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteI know you don't live in Texas but I found a piece of furniture that is similar to the one you found. Not as beautiful but similar and way cheaper. http://houston.craigslist.org/fuo/2193487679.html
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a great eye! That is truly one of those statement pieces you'll always remember (like the card catalog).
