so here it is...
my very first purchase from craigslist (i'm pretty sure there will be more)
because i think i'm addicted
i had to split the photo up just to get it all in...i was using my 50mm and our bedroom is not that big!
I LOVE IT!
it's in the process of being painted...black
what else, right?
i was going to try the candle wax distressing thing but it seems a bit too tedious for me, so i'm just going with the sandpaper method
more photos to come!
and here's the completed outlet find from way back when...
don't pay too much attention to the very bottom...i guess it's not that complete yet! i couldn't reach it with my brush, so of course...i'll have to finish!
i have all of my sewing necessities hidden away in here and it's just perfect!
be sure to check out more fun treasures at Southern Hospitality and don't miss her polka dot shoes either...they are too cute!
any finds for you this weekend?
What a fantastic find.....I love big chuncky pieces of furniture...and particularly painted black...can't wait to see it finished!

I love both of those. I have to check back in and see the first one painted, I love black.

Wow--that Craiglist piece is awesome! I'm partying a little late this week, but wanted to stop in and say "howdy from TX". Hope you are having a great week! I am, just read today's post on my blog...

Can't wait to see what you do with that big piece of furniture! I'm sure it'll be awesome.
I went to that blog...amazing! Where are these shoes you speak of. I love shoes and I love polka dots! : )
