Away With Disposable Furniture
It's weird..the things I find myself getting nostalgic about these days. For years I looked at the Sauder bookcases in the dining room as just what they were - inexpensive beginner furniture. But now - I find myself reflecting on all those shelves have seen. After all, they predated the purchase of 173. When we got them, they were actually a little more than we could afford. Having just left the military, entering college, and living in Horseheads (yes, you read that right), NY we were living check-to-check. But we have always been bibliophiles, and wanted some shelves the lend them a little dignity. I don't even remember where they were purchased, but they looked better than anything we had. And you know what? They really didn't look bad...
I saved the sides of the two tall bookcases, figure they're pretty solid MDF and I can use em around the workshop. And now, the dining room looks empty for the first time since '97:
Furniture and food are ways that people define their attitude toward life. – Terence Conran
And of course, the table is a storage spot for the time being...
Looks so sad right now.
So, now I'm committed...there's no turning back!
