BENCHmarked design....

(crappy iphone pic, sorry)

I ran (literally, as I am always pushing the clock these days) into P.D's last week just for a quick tour......and saw this. This bench and I had a moment together. It was a Saturday and the large pieces of furniture are usually picked over by then (they are open Wed-Sat)...but there she was, tucked under a table in the back corner. I had to have it, wasn't sure where I was going to put it (its pretty long) but, had to have it nonetheless. It didn't hurt that it retails for over $1000 and I bought it for $499.

Wanna see where she ended up?


It was meant to be. A perfect fit. What do you think?

    I read your blog a few weeks back when you told about P.D.'s. My husband and I went to Nashville for our anniversary last weekend and I made him drive me down to find PD's. It was WONDERFUL!!! I am in love with that store. We were also in there on Saturday and I told the girls we were from AL and I had read someone's blog who mentioned the store so we put it in the GPS and there we were. We of course stocked up on items, but wanted more. Thank you for telling everyone about that store. I can't wait until my next trip up there. Franklin was such an adorable town.
