My brother and his wife renovated their house (I should show you the before/after pictures!) when they bought it (filled with junk…lots of work but what a dream!). Most old furniture got moved to his basement and it’s my lucky day – he wanted it gone! I gladly offered up “storage” in our barn. Old free furniture = some creative projects coming up!
Dad helped and a couple of truckloads later…
2 chairs, mustard colored cabinet, desk
dresser (don’t you love that old floor cloth in the barn?)
bookcase with casters
vanity
another cabinet
vanity mirror (2 actually!)
love the hardware on this 2nd desk
magazine rack
white wicker chair (as well as a brown wicker rocker)
this cute little girl needs cleaned up but she’ll be a great spot for guests’ luggage
wine press and bee boxes (what will I do with those?! )
Not shown: 1954 dictionary, blue to green depression glass candy dish, box of knick knacks that I haven’t sorted through yet, 2 ornate corner wall shelves and a single card catalog box.
I‘m going to need to get busy scrubbing and grab some paint! 🙂
I can’t wait to get started!
Thanks, Christopher!

Oh my gosh you kinda hit the jackpot! Your brother was just holding on to these? Amazing, what a great brother to give them to you!

Wow! What a great brother! Some great pieces, I couldn't help but picture what I would do with some of them! Have fun!!!
Kim
Jackpot! Are you going to redo some of them and resale them? You got some fun ahead of you!
If my brother offered such wonderful treasures and I took them, my husband might leave me. But at least I would have a few projects to keep me busy! We have a difference of opinion on what is a treasure and what is junk! Makes our marriage stronger 🙂
Wow, so many wonderful treasures. Can't wait to see it all redone, I know it will be fabulous. Hugs, Marty
Such great things, can't wait to see what you do with them all

Oh my gosh…I bet you are in Junk Heaven! Nice of them to give it all to you…so much potential there! Wow…I am looking foward to see the transformations….thanks for the post, Linda
Wow, that's a lot of stuff. They're nice stuff though. I won't know what to do with them all because we've got no where to store them.
Oh my, Roeshel, it looks like you hit the motherlode of thrifters and DIYers!! You must be in heaven!
The cabinet that looks like it has a yellow wax cloth nailed to it actually looks like an antique washstand, the kind on which you put an antique bowl and pitcher.
Oh my gosh…you hit the jackpot!! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Roeshel I sure wish he was my brother!!! That is like a giant slice of heaven rained down into your garage. No need to hit the tag sales for the next year – you have a ton of work right there but oh the rewards will be awesome. Can't wait to see.
oh wow! You hit the jackpot! I wish someone I knew was getting rid of cool old furniture for free. 🙂
Love that magazine rack! I'm so jealous of all your free stuff! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
Wow lucky you! I can't wait to see what you do with them.
Lucky you! That first 2 drawer dresser matches my girls furniture! I need one of those! I wish I could nab cool stuff like that! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
What a score!!! Those are awesome pieces and you can't beat free!
You are really going to have some fun with these major scores!! Awesome!
SCORE!!!
Holy load of awesomeness! wow! Lucky you. 🙂

Oh WOW you lucky girl. I am sitting here with a little bit of envy, but then even if someone did offer me a whole lot of free stuff, I would have no where left to put it! Augh! Craig's list free stuff has taken over my garage and now half my kid's play room. Your free stuff is way better than mine.
Lucky you!! Do you need help painting? I'll volunteer.
Awesome haul! Lucky girl. You scored the mother load =)))
Wow! You struck DIY gold Roeshel! 🙂 I cannot wait to see what you come up with!

I'm so jealous! You got so many amazing pieces! Have fun transforming them!:)
Such beautiful pieces! The pieces you called a dresser is actually a buffet. My parents had that set when I was a child. I has a beautiful pedestal table & china cabinet with the set. I have my parents china cabinet but I didn't have room for the other things.
Whether you use it as a buffet or a dresser, it is beautiful.
Holy moly, you hit the mother lode! What fantastic pieces. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
What a haul — and what a brother. All I get from my brothers is bad jokes — ha! Did you play it like you were helping him out by taking all that "junk" off his hands? Nice score!!! Can't wait to see what you do with all of it.
I am so jealous!!!! In my eyes you won the lottery….lucky girl!!!
Looks like a GOLD Mine to me! Lucky you!
Excellent!! Happy Projects to you!!!
