Great Find!

I am so excited, first because I was on stand by for jury duty yesterday and didn't have to go!! Woo Hoo!! (jumping for joy)  Second I scored at Ballard Designs.  Since I was on standby I had nothing on my calendar for yesterday.  I called late Tuesday night and found out I was excused, so Wednesday was wide open!  I know many of you are familiar with Ballard Designs.  Their catalog probably lands in your mailbox or inbox on a regular basis.




We are lucky enough in Atlanta to have two Ballard's outlet stores (Ballard's Backroom).  The bigger of the stores is a little further away, but since my calendar was clear and Mr. TMD is out of town I grabbed a coffee and headed out. You never know what they will have, or what shape it will be in, but there are some real bargains to be had.




I have been on the hunt for a narrow console type table for our family room and as luck would have it I found one.  It was $100 less than the other ones just like it because it is missing the glass for the shelves.  They all needed a little paint.  The price was already great and then it was was another 30% off!  So, I loaded it up and brought it home.  


Here she is.  I plan to do a little spray painting and am thinking it will look better with antiqued mirror shelves instead of the clear glass they had.  Stay tuned.

Awesome score!
You are so lucky to have a Ballard Designs near you (an outlet no less!).
