My furnishing style is still, um, minimalistic, to say the least, but I am getting some stuff. I now have enough places to sleep should any guests come visit (just have to buy some more pillows). I even have chairs for them! Well, a chair for me, and a chair for you...plus a cooler which makes a great seat. :-)
Today, though, I was browsing a beautiful furniture store. Way too fancy for me, but fun to look at, ya know? Well, there was this table right at the front that just had some amazing lines, plus great grain in the wood, not too much ornamentation, nice and big, rectangular, classic feeling. Sort of what I'd want to get if I was in the market for actually buying right now. Well, I wandered around the store looking at all the pretties and the saleslady mentioned that the table I had been drooling over was on sale for 45% off. Now, I wasn't serious about buying and hadn't actually looked at the price. I would've guess, maybe $1000-$1500...Yeah, huh, I went and looked after she told me about the deal. The sale price? Somewhere a bit above $8000. Who the hell buys a table for $8000? And that's the sale price! Whoa, I was so out of my league. That's more like a car price.
But, it was a nice table. |
