You know how I whine a lot about never finding cool stuff at my local thrift stores? Well, last week I went to Goodwill, and there before my eyes was a campaign style dresser and nightstand! I couldn’t believe my luck; I never find that stuff!
I scurried as quickly as I could to get a closer look, and only then did I realize that the pieces of crap were made out of rotting wicker! Ugh! I have never seen such a thing as wicker campaign furniture, and never hope to again. I went home and wallowed in bitter disappointment. Then I looked at this fabulous campaign dresser makeover from Katie at Wildwood Creek and jealously shook my fists at the sky while weeping.

September 14, 2011 at 1:03 PMI rarely find any great furniture pieces at our thrift stores either. Could be that I don’t get there the minute the store opens-that’s when the consignment store vultures come and snatch everything up in their greedy little claws.
