The Furniture Project!

I have been looking for a dresser for the living room. Something we could keep games and movies inside while mounting our TV above on the wall. The ones I have really liked have been pricey! One was $500 and one was $1500! So a couple of Saturdays ago I went to a neighborhood yard sale and found something so perfect! There was a dresser, mirror, and 2 nightstands for $75. I needed nightstands for Caleb and Ethan too so this was perfect! Except they were so ugly in their original state but we can change that, right!!!

So, here is the breakdown he wanted $75
I offered $60, he said yes!
I sold the mirror for $15...
Sold my old TV stand for $20
Making it $25 for the dresser and two nightstands! YAY!!!

We refinished it all plus an existing nightstand that Noah had...the before shots...



The after shots...so proud of the after's!

Ethan was so proud of his... 



This week Jason is building me a shelf to go above the TV....to be continued!!!
