Do you think that is nice?

Can I just start by telling you how new I am at this blogging venture! So be forewarned I am not very good at it. So here goes.....

It all started at Salvation Army, after my friends and I looked at the amazingly ugly sweaters they had to offer, (if you are ever looking for something fun to do with friends, head to Salvation Army and try on a few of the ugliest sweaters they have. It makes for a lot of laughs) we headed to the furniture area. It was there that I found this beautiful piece of work. I was a little hesitant to buy it but my friend Laurie taught me to buy now and think later but only if it is really cheap! So for $7 I went for it. I brought it home and sanded the art work off, I know what your thinking, it's so classy why would you do that. I was just thinking that I did not want to make my friends jealous with this beautiful piece of furniture. So where was I, oh yeah, I painted the entire thing, then I used a sander to make it look worn. Then just a wipe down with stain and a coat of poly and presto a new/old piece of furniture.

The fun part was filling it with cheap, but really cute shelf sitters! So for a total of maybe $30 I got a new/old, really cute piece of furniture, and some really cute new decorations for it! Oh happy day~
