$7.99 ain't bad.

Nope it ain't bad at all. 

Sorry for the bad grammar y'all, but I am from Texas ya know!

So. On Friday I was driving home from work and I found myself with nothing planned. No children. No husband.

Just me.

Free time.

And on payday none the less.

Uh-oh. You know what that means don't you? GOODWILL TRIP! bwahahahaha

I almost got away with it to. Until my hubby decided to call me while I was checking out and I had to admit that I was checking out a basketful at goodwill!

It was totally worth it. I found SO MANY goodies! I can't wait to share all of the projects with you, but for now I only have one complete.

I do have a few questions for you ladies though before I get to the good stuff. I am on the hunt for a gorgeous and fun fabric to recover a memo board in my office. I am hoping for a turquoise and white color combo and ideally a chevron pattern, but I am open to others. Know of anything? 

Second, do you have a secret recipe for removing stubborn stickers? I have already spent an hour trying to remove a giant sticker from a goodwill find and it is killin me!

Ok, ok here we go! This is one of my fabulous goodwill finds from Friday and it is also my favorite yet:

Isn't she great? A little rough around the edges, but with a little TLC like so and only a few coats of spray paint I turned her into this:

(someone pls donate the mula I need to replace our carpet with hard woods...)

My hubby repaired the damaged bottom with this:

Not exactly the best solution, but it's what I had, OK? Then, I used KILZ spray primer on the entire thing. It is the bomb diggity! I wouldn't ever use any other. After all of that had dried I did several coats of Valspars White spray paint in gloss and I sprayed the hardware with Rustoleum's metallic oil rubbed bronze. I wish you could see the handles sparkle, but I am not the best photographer and this photo does my new love no justice whatsoever.

Now I just need to find the perfect paper to line the inside of the drawers for a little extra sunshine when I open her up! :)

What do you think? I'm not sure if I'm liking it in our bedroom just yet, but that might just be because it's so new. If it doesn't work out there I think it would look great in my new office too!

I'm linking up over at:

Check out the rest of the projects linked up here.

Check out the rest of the awesomeness over there! (did you know that awesomeness is actually a work according to spell check?) ahhahahaha
