More Projects

So having recently moved to this area, I have found that the Goodwill here is WAY cheaper than the one that was closest to me back in NC. So I go there often.

Here are a few things I have found along the way

Of course they aren't completely done yet, I need to cut some circles for the openings and maybe do a monogram. Haven't gotten that far yet. 

You can't tell (or maybe you can) but these are plastic and they were UGLY! I of course didn't get a good before pic because I was too excited to make them pretty. 

Cost: 1.99

These were 4.99 at gw and then the cost of paint

More to come soon!

Projects

So since reading all these blogs and seeing the amazing things that people are doing with furniture, I decided to jump on the DIY band wagon. I have always done these types of things, but there was never a name for it. 

Here is one of my favorite finds so far

Our local thrift store has a TON of stuff, I found this very cute hutch kid size for $40, but then it was 20% off so I got it for $32!!!!
