Now that I am home every day, I started to feel claustrophobic. So...time for a change! I LOVE change. I used to rearrange my bedroom when I was little, couldn't tell you how many times I rearranged my classroom, and now my house.
In order to save (and at times make) money, I've been finding pieces at yard sales and consignment stores to re-do. Here is my latest.
Bought this T.V. cabinet for 45 buckeroos at a yard sale. It had scratches, but those were easily sanded out. Plus, I knew I was going to distress it, so I liked the imperfections. (It made me feel even better that the next yard sale I went to was selling a similar one for close to $200.)
My mother-in-law had the paint, so I only had to spend a little time and about $10 for the knobs to make it look like this...
It looks way better in person. In fact, I bought it to re-sell on Craigslist, but Caleb and I liked it so much we kept it for ourselves. :) The bottom has been GREAT, because we hide some of Mia's toys under there. She also likes to crawl in it and play peek-a-boo.
Hopefully I'll get to posting more of the before and after projects I've been working on. :)
Yes yes it is, too cool!
