Trash to Treasure

Trash to Treasure For My Craft Room

Hello!
Hope you are having an amazing day.

I just wanted to drop on really quick and share a little "Trash to Treasure".
Recently while shopping at a local flea market, I found this beauty marked at $55.

I was drawn to the drawers and the brass pulls.  I have been looking for a storage piece for my craft room.  I needed something that was stylish but I didn't want to break the bank.

Since I wasn't in a truck, I left it there and decided to think about it.  The next morning I called and sure enough, it was still there and that they would be glad to load it for me.  So I borrowed my Grandson's truck and went to pick it up.  

Now here's the real kicker to this story. When I got there, the man told me it was half off and that it was only $27.50.  Can you believe that!  $27.50!!!

I get excited about a bargain........... can you tell?! ha ha

I sanded and sanded on the top to get rid of all the water rings. Then I gave it a deep brown stain and  a thin coat of polyurethane to give it some protection.  I painted the rest of the piece with a turquoise chalk paint and then used an antique wax over the top to give it an aged look.  I am in love with the way this turned out.

I love finding things that can be re-purposed.  It is my mission this year to more often, look for something used before buying new.  I think we are such a "throw away" society these days, myself included.  I'm trying to make a change and this project was a success in my book.

If you would like more details about the items I used for this project just let me know in the comments.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope I've inspired you in some way. Perhaps you are inspired to start a project of your own or maybe I've inspired you to look for something used before buying new. Whatever it is, I hope you have fun with it.
