Thrifty for Madge

While those of you who know Madge may think that the title should be Thrifting for Madge, those of you who know me really well will know that I'm not as much a thrifter as I am just plain cheap. I love a deal. And there is no better deal than free. So here she is. A made to fit armoir from a 1920's nunnery that the other half got off a job site. It was a reno and the owner didn't want the 20 some odd pieces, so each tradesman got to take what he wanted. Score.

Very nice.

And you included the word "nunnery", which is always a bonus.

That's weird...I left a message last night, and its not here! Damn WV!
Well, what I was saying....I am very jealous of your armoir! its friggin beautiful!
I wish my man was a tradesman and took me home stuff like that! Instead I get markers and pens.
I'm not complaining, but an armoir would be nice to put the pens and marker in.
