a STEAL!

See this beauty?

It's the Ikea Stornas Buffet.
It retails for $449.

I picked it up, with a few added drawers at Goodwill last night...

...for $60!!!

It has a few paint transfer marks on it, but those are easy fixes. There was one little scratch on the top part, but that was easily fixed with some spray stain I had.

Whatever!! I was so GIDDY!!!

I bought it for my craft room. My plan is to paint it teal...as long as teal is the color I still plan to go with as the accent color down there! Either way, it will be getting a full remodel when it gets to it's final home in the basement.

But for now...it's Husby's dresser. I figured, instead of taking up space in the ever changing basement, we could use it in our room till the craft room is done. Then we will move it and purchase the drawers that we planned on putting in our room, which is basically the same size. (The Hemnes 8-Drawer Dresser)

Isn't it just GREAT!!!

Trash to Pleasure?

So...this made me think...

TEXT MESSAGE with a note from Mom..."found on side of road. thought u could paint & use in craft rm or something? like?" (My favorite part was after I said "YEAH FOR SURE!" She replied with..."I got it from someone's trash..hahah only me huh?!"

Yes Mom...only you! But boy am I GLAD!!

Maybe she is on to something...You see, Mom always finds the goods...whether it be from the side of the road...like this old screen door. Or from Goodwill...like this beauty for $14.99!

So maybe, we can start a little something...I was thinking of calling it "Trash to Pleasure." You know, instead of Trash to Treasure...(cause you know, that's been used quite a bit!)

Thoughts? Wanna see it??!!
