[QUOTE="Sparrow, post: 4971572, member: 78391"]I prefer your Goodwill find to mom's set, but we got lucky and sold it unfinished. Mom does all her work at home, and stores unfinished pieces in my barn; we had a very young girl who wanted mom to custom paint a tall boy, and when she saw the dining table and chairs she asked how much. Mom said make me an offer, and the girl said $400, so that was a nice surprise. I don't think mom expected to get that much even after it was refinished. I did find an identical sideboard on ebay (unsold) for $625, and similar ones on icollector that sold for an undisclosed amount and on 1stDibs for $1000, though the latter two were slightly different. I think we're going to clean it up and see what happens. The first three are the ones online; the last is moms (with the china). I love the vanity, but it's not really in sync with my house- i love Rococo and Art Nouveau; but i think mom plans to keep it.[/QUOTE]
