One woMan’s Trash is …

I grew another coffee table over the weekend. This one joins the four that all ready live here.

They aren’t all actually working as coffee tables and one is actually a wanna be coffee table, and is in fact still just a table top, one has found a new career as a Media Center, another is a fully trained, but as of yet, unemployed coffee table, one is right now working as a coffee table and that leaves us with the old Coffee Table that is now not working at all and is looking for job placement in a new position.

Five Coffee Tables. I can use three Coffee Tables, if one agrees to job retraining, as one did. The wanna be Coffee Table took a placement test and discovered was really better suited to be a Laundry Table! After some grief counseling, it settled down and is looking forward to the new job. Good For It.

I tried to find long-term employment for the old Coffee Table, but the Placement Center only had bathroom and kitchen openings and could not offer Coffee Table a position unless it was also trained as a Shower Curtain or Silverware Separator. The Coffee Table refused retraining in these fields.

The old Coffee Table also had very harsh things to say about the other unemployed Coffee Table as it had been a Street Table and was not bathing as often as it may have liked. The Old Coffee Table does not believe that the other unemployed Coffee Table really came to live with us after it was left in a cardboard box in front of the Grocery marked “Free Tables to a Good Home”. The Old Coffee Table tells the other Tables that the other unemployed table was trash before it was rescued from the curb.

Old Coffee table should not be so snooty, it was itself a freebie.

The New Coffee Table keeps it’s own counsel.

So I am looking for somewhere local to send Old Coffee Table to. It is a nice table, very good sized, tough enough to hold up to being used as a fort by Dogger, yet too dainty to be used as a bench. It is very depressed now; it just sits in the corner and glowers at the new Coffee Table.

I could take out an ad and sell the old Coffee Table, but an ad might run me more then what I could get for the table if I did sell it and I stress over the ethics of taking money for a table I got for free in the first place.

Now that I have the lovely New Coffee Table, the other tables in the room look like they need to be dealt with. I’m going to take the plunge and put clothes on my Naked Furniture. Question, do you clothe the furniture in what ever finish strikes your fancy or do you have to match the floors or do you match the other all ready clothed furniture? Let Me Know.

This is shorter then normal to give you time to play with the new links.
