My new dazzling dresser!

I admit to stalking Craig's List nearly every day, multiple times a day. Especially now that I am trying to furnish my house on a budget. Currently we have been trying to find a dresser to place our DVR & DVD player on in our bedroom. Our flat screen TV remains on the floor, where its been the last 3 weeks since moving into our new place. Not so much fun when I can't see the TV from the bed.

I came across this beauty today. I managed to talk the owner down on price & we picked up a short while later. Its not in mint condition by any means, but it has a lot of character & I LOVE it!!! It is a metallic silver & it reminds me a little bit of those mirrored dressers. I adore the three small drawers down the center of it. I think it will go fantastic with the light aqua blue I plan on painting our room.

Photo is from Craig's List, so pardon the crappy quality. ;)

I think I've also narrowed down my fabric choices for the cushions for my cute little porch chairs. I've decided to go with this beautiful fabric from Amy Butler. Isn't this fabric to die for? So pretty!!!

Fun & fabulous garage sale finds!

I love this time of year! I especially love it because it's now officially garage sale season. I've already scored some pretty great finds the past two weekends.

I found a pair of these awesome vintage chairs (see photo below) at a garage sale last weekend for $10 each. I bargained with the nice lady & she gave them both to me for $15.00! Whoohoo! I am hoping to get these sanded in a few spots tomorrow, primed & painted. Then I all will have to do is find some bright & cheery cushions. Super cute & cheap way to brighten up our new porch.

Today I found a a cute wooden bench with lots of potential. Needs some light sanding & a little glue... only $20! I am planning to paint this black & add a bright funky cushion to it. Not sure if it will eventually end up in my office or if it should go in the front living space. I will post pics of this find later!
