Trash-Treasure Find

Please tell me that some of you reading this have found a treasure in the trash before? Anyone? Was out with my friend the other day, we were driving home and i passed a gorgeous shelf out for the trash. I said to my friend 'omg did you see that shelf? that was soooo cute' she had totally missed and we turned around, and after about twenty minutes managed to get it into my car. We know we want to refinish it but haven't started yet, but here is a sneak-peek.
