Karen of Redoux saw this dresser on the side of the road.  She wasn’t the first person to see it there, she explains, “I actually saw a truck in front of me slow down, stop to look at it, then move on to find better curbside shopping goodies.  Their loss, my gain!”  The dresser had a unique design that resembled cottage shingles, Karen thought.
