Truth be told, I get way to much of a thrill off of a great Craigslist find! Finding the perfect piece, making sure it’s still available and then bargaining is a total adrenaline rush!
This old trunk is one of my FAVORITE finds!
She used to look like this…
And she lived right here in my living room. Her purpose: A coffee table that my husband and boys did not appreciate. They are men and they want function… I am a woman and I want style! Long story short – she lasted almost 2 years and the men now have their way:)
Two cans of Rust-Oleum Summer Squash (ahhhh my favorite yellow)….
and a good distressing with my 3M sanding block was all it took to prepare her for her new home!
Tenley’s Nursery:)
I think this will make the perfect toy box and I love how it fits in with the nursery theme! I also love what I replaced her with in the living room but that’s another post:)
Do you have your projects ready? We can’t wait to see what you girls have been working on without your hubby’s this month! Link up on Thursday, April 7th!
My husband has an antique truck that we’re trying to find some information about. It was his grandfathers. No clues yet! Though I’d never paint his, I absolutley LOVE the yellow. What a great addition. Love the fact that it once was a coffee table. Gives me ideas on how to use ours instead of just stuck in a corner with “stuff” sitting on it. Thanks for the inspiration.
