Treasure Find

I have been looking for a used buffet for a long time now.  My mom came down to stay with me and the kids for a couple days through their spring break.  We decided to go check out a second hand furniture store.  As soon as saw this beauty I knew I had to have it.  It took a little convincing with Bob, but I got what I've been waiting for. The lady had it marked at $250 I talked her down to $215, I know Bob thinks I'm crazy when I bargain  a price with people.  But hey,  I got a pretty good bargain on this one!!  They run from $900 to $2000 in a furniture store.  And this buffet is solid walnut, Bob let me know how solid it was when he moved it in.  I love it!! It has so much storage in it.  I can hide a whole bunch of toys and books and whatever else in it.  I am so excited about it I just had to share my new find!!   So here is a picture of my new (used) buffet. 
The bad news about today, is my moms car won't start.  So, she is stuck with me for another day until Bob figures out whats wrong with it.  I feel horrible about her car but, on the bright side I'm glad I get to have her here with us another day!!
