My friend was having a garage sale this past weekend, and on her Facebook page, she posted a couple of pictures of the furniture items she was selling.
As soon as I saw the picture of the armoire, I knew I wanted it!
I asked her how much she was selling it for, and she said $75, but she told me she'd sell it to me for $50!! She told me to hurry up and decide because people were swarming around it!
Normally I would ask my husband about it first, but I knew we needed that piece, and I know I would not find something like that for that price. Plus, I know the people, and I knew that it was going to be in good condition!
It only has the primer on it, so now I have to decide what color to paint it.
And those are not stains on the door. You can just see the "knots" through the primer.
I'm contemplating whether or not to use it in the homeschool room for their supplies, or in our bedroom.
So, it's in the garage till I decide the best place to put it!

You are going to be able to do great things with that! What a great find!
It's beautiful!!!!!! I'm sure all that storage space will come in handy!!
So glad you scored. Your hubs must have been ok with your find!! You know, we have had a $50 dollar rule in our house for the whole 12 years of our marriage. If it costs $50 and under we can buy it w/o consult. After that no can do!
I think that's a steal! The drawers would be great for big pieces of art paper... just saying. :)
Nice cabinet, Alicia!
happy to hear you find it online..with a little lower price.

Awesome "garage sale" find.

Great find!!! It's gorgeous!
You always find the best things!! It's fantastic.
Have a wonderful day, sweetie!!
$50 is a great bargain for it. It looks like the top shelve is big enough for a TV or is it just the picture that makes it look big?
What a great buy! Can't wait to see what color you choose and how you use it :)
Awesome find! I would love to have it.
i think it would be more good in your kids' homes school room..quite a catch..=)
$50 is an awesome deal! I love that piece! I think it would be great in a really bright color...maybe red!
Wow! What a steal. I love, love, love the drawers at the bottom!

Oh goody that's a great deal! Wow. Glad you grabbed it!
I would love something like that too. Look at all the space!
NICE! That is perfect, lot's of room, and it looks like it will be easy to paint! Make sure you post an after pic too!
$50.00? Wow, what a deal. The potential is HUGE for this piece! cannot wait to see what you do with it!!!
That's a great buy and it will go anywhere too! I have a similar one in the family room.
The drs. don't know what happened to my daughter's eye. It was one of those "freak accidents" that has no logical cause. Of course, those kinds of things seem to happen a lot in our family. We are weird.
What a great find...and an awesome deal!
Great deal is right! I want it!
I can never find such great pieces at garage sales. Now I know why! You mean I have to pre-shop on Facebook? LOL
I have missed blog hopping and am happy to finally be back and see your beautiful face! Hope all is well!
great find!! I would do it white, or black, depending on the space you're using it in. :) One day I'll have to post pictures of all my furniture re-furbs that I've done in my house over the last few months. :)
What a wonderful find!! I'd def use it for homeschool supplies... Love, it, love it!!
How fun! Storage with doors is always wonderful! What a great find.
What a fantastic piece of furniture. Now don't forget to give us a picture when it's all done being painted too! Gee Whiz! That's only half a story without the painted pic! ~hehe~ CONGRATS!
Nice find.
