Today my sweet hubby, our puppy, and I went to the Flea Market. I have blogged about the glorious finds at the flea market before, today was no exception. As we were walking through I noticed this horrible, hideous chest/trunk contraption. It was sea foam green (which is a color I love, but not this particular shade) and it had the worlds ugliest fabric on top. But I saw something that could be beautiful. I went over to it and lifted the lid, it was in great shape! The man came by and my hubs asked the price, $30. Serial? No one in their right mind would pay $30 for that hunk of junk. Told him we would think about it and left.
We continued walking around the flea market and the conversation went a little like this:
Me: Do you know what I could do with that? I could make it into something beautiful.
Hubs: I am going to offer him $15 dollars for it.
Me: Good good, insult the man and we can get it for $20.
Hubs: Yes, that's about right.
So we went back to the man, and sure enough it was still there. So hubs offers $15 for the trunk and the man grabs his chest. Haha! He said, "I'll let you have it for $20" SOLD!
So here it is, in all its seafoamy glory in my garage. Just wait until you see what I come up with...
