well. it was not meant to be. i never heard back from the woman with the desk. i had a feeling it was too good to be true. at least it's not like ebay where i would have paid already. that's ok. i think i'm going to repurpose a table i have with the same legs. i think. i'd like to cut it in half on the long axis so it's sort of sofa table shaped and go from there. before and after pics to follow if i do that.

it's not like i NEED more furniture - it's just that i'm a bit of a nester (this may have already crossed your mind).

it was just so perfect.
