A Table Saga..............

We hung the Chandelier and I love it.  I will do a post of the dining room makeover but I am waiting for a table and a blackboard before it is done. I spotted a table in Pottery Barn recently.  I went home to think about it.  I then saw that it went on sale while browsing the web. I called my local store where I had originally seen the table.  This is how the conversation went from their end.
  • I am sorry we don't carry that table
  • Oh, we do carry it, but it is not on sale
  • It will take 2 weeks
  • It is on back order for 6 weeks
  • It is 10% off
  • We have one on the floor in the scratch and dent
  • We can't find the leaves
  • It is an additional 20% off
  • We found the leaves
  • Because it has a scratch it is now 30% off
So the table I couldn't have because they didn't carry it that wasn't on sale was a whopping 40% off and it is coming next Tuesday.

    Gotta love that. Hopefully, their shipping is more organized than their floor staff!

    Can't wait to see it!
