my thrift store find



So I have been needing a nightstand/dresser for a while but whatever I find I want is sold or too much. Well I was a little bit bored today and thought we would go to the thrift store for the heck of it. I found this cute nightstand/dresser that was in good shape minus the one shelf that had water damage. Picked this thing up for 8.00. Well yesterday I was surfing around on the web waiting for Burke to get home from church meetings and found this cute blog that sells furniture and cute pegs and shelfs. They had made a cute night table like this with a "poppy" theme. I loved it so much of course and it was sold so when I found this the light bulb in my head went off and I thought to myself I have a cricuit that can cut the poppy's out so it was a sold item to me. I came home and modge podged some scrapbook paper on the two shelfs to hide the water damage and cut out some poppies and tied a purple tole ribbon on the top. I'm loving my new find. I'm loving the thrift store ;) Last week I found halloween costumes for the kids and got all three of the kids costumes for 15.00. I'm feeling lucky I tell ya. I shouldn't spoil it I guess ;)

I may have to break away from the house Corina and go with ya. Thanks Pea and Angie. You got a steal with those frames!!! It's hard to find just wood frames. I try to find some for stitcheries. It's very rare for me to find that diamond in the rough~lol. I would love to redo furniture for a living. I found this blog called: http://poppiesatplaymarket.blogspot.com/ They have some DARLING ideas of what to do with things.
