Today was a great day. After church Ben and I went to lunch and then hunted down a few garage sales that I found in the paper. I love garage sales! I'm always so disappointed on sunny saturdays because I know there are going to be so many that I can't go to because I'm working. I'm jealous when my parents and my sister get to go because I feel like they are taking all the good stuff! Anyway, I didn't buy much today; just a cool trunk, a really neat yellow glass bottle and an old version of trivial pursuit. All for less than twenty dollars! I just love garage sales! I love them even more when I get to go with Ben. : ) We always have a lot of fun!
For the past few months I have been thinking about how I hate all of my furniture, but I know I'm going to need some of these things after I get married. I don't really want to buy all of it new so I've decided that I'm just going to paint and re-do everything in my room! I love reinventing things!
When I heard we were suppose to have nice weather this weekend I knew it was the perfect time to start my furniture make overs. I was originally going to work on my dresser but I couldn't find the perfect paint and since I've never done anything like this before I decided it would be better to start small. So, I chose one of the stands that I had hiding in the corner.
Here it what it looked like before:
It wasn't terrible to begin with, but not really something I will use/like in the future. But now, I love it! Take a look:
Isn't it great?! I really like it and I had a lot of funny working on it! Benjamin and the guitar kept me company the whole time. : ) It was a really calming way to spend the rest of my afternoon!
I had a good day! : )
