From Goodwill find to Dog House to TV Cabinet


Here's my $20 Goodwill cabinet. Solid wood construction, except for the laminate top that my youngest quickly divested of its side strips.

 
Here's Butch who decided it would be best utilized as a dog house.
Sorry Butch, but I've got other plans!

 
Three coats of Glossy Black by Valspar. A pine top stained a dark walnut. A set of 6 inch legs and a quick rummage for all matching baskets in the house. Definitely not a dog house anymore.




See that bookshelf? It was plain wood and sat right on the floor on the bottom shelf. I bought matching 4 inch legs for it and put a couple coats of the left over paint on it-I think it turned out just as great as the cabinet!

Anyone else remodeling?

Since I've been remodeling the house, I've become addicted to designing/DIY blogs. There are some terrific blogs out there that teach a cheapo like me how to do some amazing things, all without bothering the hubby to help.

I have started redoing my kitchen, well, to be technical, I am finishing my kitchen since it was never actually 100% finished when we moved in 4 years ago. So imagine my delight to see a post on the fabulous Centsational Girl's site today with a chance to win a Price Pfister faucet! 

Hurry over and check it out, you never know, you just might win a terrific new faucet.
