We've got several things out on the street free for you to take if you want. They're all good peices that need some TLC to be great. We don't have the time or the room for any more projects, so off they go to you. We have:

One vintage WWII era wooden desk
One writing desk with drop down front
One vintage dresser
One vintage boudoir chair
One child-size rocking chair (not shown)
Two office chairs (70's era)
One metal filing cabinet, two drawers.

They're all out on the street at (deleted) in Milwaukie. They are under plastic to protect them from the rain but help yourself. Please make sure what's left is covered before you leave.

Sorry, can't answer questions, but I'll post when gone.


The dresser is the 3rd from the left

I got in the car and booked it twenty minutes across town. Lo and behold it was still there (the writing desk and filing cabinet were already gone). I parked in the middle of the street and hopped out quickly. By the time I squirmed it into the car another couple came by wanting the same dresser (not two minutes later). Then within another minute, another couple. Aaaah. I hightailed it out of there and drove home with our new friend. I'm all excited yet still all worked up with adrenaline and nerves.

So great that we got the style of dresser we love for free. Can't wait to give it some TLC and new knobs. It will have a new home in our foyer -- we'll get to see it every day when we walk in the door.
