Maybe not in the greatest condition, it’s got some scuffs, some chips and scratches; it could use a refinishing to polish it to its full glory but its bones are good, it was crafted with love and care, and few other tables are quite like it. Somebody picks it up out of curiosity because it’s free—hey, why not—and doesn’t take up too much space. They take care of it the best they can but grow tired of always having to use a coaster. They cover it with a cloth and it gathers dust and cobwebs sitting in a corner. They would have been happy with a table from IKEA; they didn’t want this table at all—they just needed a table. The table yearns to be the centerpiece to a room. Somewhere, a collector is searching far and wide for a table just like this one.

Someone in my building left it in the trash area (see that stain on the concrete I assume that’s trash juice) to throw away and I had to rescue her

My neighbors put this out on the curb, gorgeous wood shelf with coat hooks and I freaking love the little floral detailing. Somebody cooked here.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
