House Projects

 The past few weekends there have been some wonderful estate sales in our area. I found a few items and was able to refurbish them.

Project #1 Dresser

I paid 15$ for this little dresser. I sanded it down and painted it a sage green color. I also took off the handles and spray painted them black.

My cat really enjoyed when I took out the drawers he thought it was a great hiding spot

Finished product. I have an alcove in my hallway and it has a small built in desk. We don't use the desk so I tucked it in there to store items.

Project #2 Nightstand:
I found this white nightstand for 60$. It was in great shape and what white. I painted it the same color as the dresser.

It was 110 outside the day I was painting so I decided to paint inside

Project #3 Wall Display

At one of the estate sales I went to I found some old yucky gold picture frames. I bought all three for 10$. I took them apart and painted them. I turned one into a chalkboard, one into a dry erase message board and one into a picture holder with chicken wire.

Project #4 Spindle Bed Frame

 I found this amazing bed frame and purchased it for 15$. It needed some sanding and I had to stain it. It also didn't come with bed rails or the boards that hold up the mattress. Growing up I had a bed just like this in white and I loved it.

I love spending time fixing things up and re purposing them. I spent 100$ total at estate sales this summer and 45$ at Lowes buying wood, paint and other supplies. It is so exciting to complete four projects for around 150$.
