Caitlin picked up this shabby, bestickered table at a fundraising rummage sale, for a whopping $5. When she got it home, her mom laughed and said it was the exact same table she had just found in the garbage! She had plucked it out earlier to donate to the sale! Oh well, it was $5 to a good cause. And now it’s looking good, fully un-sticker-fied, proudly adorning the front porch in red. See it on her blog Riparata.
