Yesterday, in the process of removing some of the less desirable furniture pieces from my house, I discovered just how disgusting my $10 drafting table really was.  When I found this beauty at the local salvage yard I was very excited.  At the time I desperately needed a drafting table, and the price was unbeatable.

Over the course of the past year I put this table to good use.  It was perfect for my Landscape Architecture projects and could handle just about any task I threw at it.  While it was not beautiful it served a purpose, and did I mention the price?  What's not to love?

How about all the gum that had been stuck under it for years by careless Junior High students.  One look  at all the gum and I knew that this little desk would not be making the move with me.  Out to the curb it went and I am now without desk.

I think that this little desk would fill the void.  It looks old, but something tells me that I won't find dried gum under this beauty.  I think that working at this desk would be a pleasure, and best of all, it wouldn't have to be hidden out of sight.
