Goodwill Bookcase

The kids, sweet husband and I

were out running errands on

Saturday and we passed a Goodwill.

So I ran in really quick to

see what they had....

Now anyone who shops at

Goodwill and has purchased furniture

is familiar with the yellow receipt

they give you once you pay

for the item....it's what

you need to pick up the piece

once you drive around back..right

Well....sweet husband is

very familiar with this slip of paper

So imagine his face when I walked

back to the truck with it proudly in hand

Let's just say his reaction wasn't

in keeping with his sweet husband status...

But can you blame the man I seem to have

a slight addiction to orphaned furniture

Anyways...I thought it was a nice bookcase

And it was only

$24.99

That's a bargain I thought!

It's very sturdy and well made

it just needed to be cleaned up

my plan is to paint it..but

in the meantime I wanted to

try using the Old English scratch

cover for dark woods

Before I use it on another

 piece I just found

(yes i've been holding out on you)

i'm just not ready to share it yet

it's beautiful...and probably

my favorite thing i've ever found

i'll share soon...I promise

Look at the pretty artichoke/pineapple/acorn

(whatever you choose to call them)

finials on top

I love it in the kitchen/dining area...now all my

serving pieces are close at hand



Next project up...the kitchen!

The new cabinets are in....

it's going to be a race to the finish!

Everything will need to be

done by Easter....YIKES

Can super husband do it??

Stay tuned
