Molly of Toile in the Family went to an auction and scored this buffet for a measly two dollars! No, not a typo. Two bucks. What?! I really need to start going to some auctions, geez.
So, with literally nothing to lose, she went bold and painted it red, replaced the handles and named her Scarlett. And frankly, my darling, I think it’s divine.

January 27, 2010 at 7:43 PMOh wow, that’s awesome! And I am still giggling at the Movie reference! “I want my two dollars” “Oily bo-hunk” and “There’s no crying in baseball” are among the most oft used quotes around here.
