Never can say goodbye

It's a strange process, this restoring furniture business - you find a piece that most people would think is garbage and you very lovingly breathe beauty back into it - hoping someone else will see what you see when it's finished and want to purchase it.  Then you list it and patiently wait - if no one is interested it's extemely disappointing and you cannot help but take it a little personally since it is your vision and creation that is being rejected. BUT EVEN WORSE for some strange reason - is when someone is actually interested in it - and you have to let it go.
This pc sat in my dining room in its original state for far too long - and I started second guessing my decision to buy it in the first place - until finally I had no choice but to tackle the elephant in the room ( which is clearly what I remember saying at the time )  It was ugly.  Period. And I had a little anxiety over it because I usually do dressers and this was sooooo big.
Somewhere in the transition I fell in love - not surprising if you do this type of thing - every piece becomes my favorite when it's finished -
Anyways, I listed it last night - and someone wants to come see it - and all of a sudden I am panicked - how can I let it go?  Where will I put everything I have inside ( the bottom storage is amazing ) It looks so pretty where it sits and everyone went on about it at my xmas party.  I LOVE IT NOW, and I may have to say goodbye to it.
I asked John what we should do - "SELL IT" he says, "that's what you buy these pieces for, isn't it".
Yeah, that's what I buy these pieces for,

But why do I have to fall in love each and every time?

This was painted with ASCP - paris gray - handles were spray painted with Krylon mettalic brilliant silver.
I removed the decorative panels on the top ( big swirly thingamajigs that simply screwed off )

There's going to be some yellng happening at my house on the weekend

I have a sickness - undeniably.
I have no business going on craig's list - our storage unit is full to capacity - and there is not a square inch of space to put this in our house - but it's a great deal and the potential for it to be pretty spoke to me louder than John can ever yell.........................so I bought it and it has to be picked up on Saturday - knowing full well that it is slow right now with the holidays just finishing - things are not selling!
And this is where the sickness comes in - I told him it will definitely fit in the trunk - all the while knowing it definitely will not - because in my mind we can put it on the roof of the car ( oh God help me - this is going to be such a scene when we get to the house and he sees it )
Wish me luck everybody!!!!!
(  and I am still not finished the white dresser, lol )
