So my roommate ran into the house just now (yes, at 2am) saying that our neighbors were throwing out stuff. They have a huge pile set out by the trash can.
2 weeks ago, she snagged a coffee table. Its a simple one, but it brings everything together nicely! So we went out there and rummaged. I snagged a desk! Yep! I'm so excited cuz I'll need one for my new apt.
I plan on going to Habitat's Restore shop to browse for couches and a dresser. Then I'll pretty much have everything I need! Yayyyy I'm about to go wipe down the desk and check to see which screws need to be tightened. Hopefully time will tell if it was a good snag..but for free... I think yes!

06-04-2011 02:47 AMHere's the desk!
Not too shabby for a first desk! Keep in mind that all my desks in the past have been dorm room desks, desks bolted to walls, and finally NO DESK. This is kinda a big deal to me lol. Its been cleaned up and screwed
"screwed"...anywayyysss lol

06-04-2011 03:02 AMThat's nice!
My uncle had a deck in his office that looked kinda like that a few years ago, but he curb sided it when he got a nicer one.
Don't you just love when people get rid of perfectly good stuff and just leave it on the side of the road like that.

06-04-2011 03:10 AMThanks guys! I'm excited lol.
Its in very good condition. Nothing is missing/broken/etc. I think they just chucked it out since they didn't have room. They're also getting rid of a grill..NO JOKE. I dont grill at all and I wouldn't be able to have one at my new place anyways. It just needs to be cleaned.
Lets see...there are mini book shelves out there, some planting pots (which I may snag tomorrow), and random boxes full of stuff. I'll check in the morning lol -
