Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 That's a fabulous find and well done to OH for making it look so good . I did a double take when I saw it - it's almost exactly the same as my "dining room" table (except ours has a veneer top ). The legs look just the same . (I've got my eye on a skip just down the road from me .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Fabulous find and great restoration job You must be thrilled with it. I once found an entire set of Rombaulds coffee cups and saucers in a skip, took them home, and washed them I use them every time we have people to dinner, and I ALWAYS tell them that I found the cups in a skip Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkor Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well I can honestly say that after seeing the table in the flesh...or should that be in the wood....IT IS LOVELY!! There is no way that it looks like it came from a skip!! It has been put to good use as Lynsey says.......we have been making jewellery and cushion covers!! Had a lovely BBQ to!! And I had a great snuggle and belly rub with Suze the Flooze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 And I had a great snuggle and belly rub with Suze the Flooze! So did Suze the Flooze rub your tummy, or the other way round.......... I'd love a table like that, if he sees another, could you put my name on it & I'll pop up for a snuggle with Suzy too!! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sha x :lol: please bear in mind it didn't look like this at all and had been stripped and sanded down... the chances of him finding another table in bits like this is slim.. but I will tell him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 That's fantastic L, and so clever of OH to restore it too. Skip diving is so satisfying, isn't it - people throw away some really good stuff. You get the gold star for recycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Lovely table Well done your hubby. We did something similar with a chest of drawers once and it was so satisfying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 awww thanks Clare, I always wanted a Gold star I always seemd to get silver for some reason but I guess it IS actually hubby's star so I missed out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
