Don’t "Sleep" on Garage Sales

Came home, immediately checked www.replacements.com and discovered the same set for $17.99!

For obvious reasons, it caught my eye, but I wasn’t sure exactly what real potential it had until I did a quick internet search for “Painted French Provincial furniture”.  Here’s what I found.
