I Suck At Donating Furniture

Today, Karen and I finally got rid of our china cabinet. Hooray! Too bad I suck at donating furniture.

Luckily for me, I had someone already lined up to take the piece of furniture. I had contacted someone (Danielle) who I had met via the FreeCycle website.

Back in February of last year, Danielle and her husband (Luke) were gracious enough to take our dining room table from us when we had placed the table up on FreeCycle. At the time, Karen and I also wanted to get rid of the matching china cabinet because it just was not our style. Unfortunately, we could not get rid of the cabinet because we needed to store our seldom used dinnerware. (For anyone getting married, do not believe the hype that you need all this dinnerware. It's a sham.)

Needless to say, we inquired back then if Danielle and Luke would be interested in taking the china cabinet since it matched the dinner table. They were definitely interested at the time. Fast forward a year and a half later in which we finally got a new china cabinet... and luckily for us, Danielle and Luke were still interested in the old china cabinet.

Anyway, it was definitely good to see the old cabinet go. The old china cabinet just did not fit correctly in our dining room. And, I'm ecstatic that it went to someone who really wanted it. (For anyone curious, Danielle and Luke refinish furniture. I think it was just some hobby that Danielle started.)
