Gapetto and I noticed a dumpster in front of the largest house 

in our neighborhood the other morning

it definitely was worthy of a second look

I didn't remember until 5 pm so I hopped in the car and went back

what a find - a Bernhardt dining room table 

with a double pedestal base

the top had water damage (and I don't need a dining room table)

but the bases were beautiful and connected 

by an unfinished top that the main top attached to

the entire piece weighed about nine million fifty four pounds 

so I went back and recruited Gapetto to help me load it up

isn't the wood beautiful?

they are now cut apart and make lovely bedside tables

so grown up

I haven't decided how I will top them yet

there are round holes for the hardware that attach 

the legs to the top

don't you love them?
