Hey Everyone!!
Hope your Monday is off to a great start!!
The weather here is BEAUTIFUL today!
It almost feels like spring!! :)
I am so thankful for the mild winter we have had thus far in Southern Illinois! Other than just a light dusting, we have had zero snow. And although there have been some cold days, I almost feel like the warm days have out numbered the cold! Very strange, considering it's January, but I'm definitely not complaining!!
I wanted to share some pictures of my latest Craigslist find with you guys today! I'm planning on sanding it down within the next couple of days & putting a coat of primer on, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, I might get it painted this weekend! We shall see!!
Anyway, here she is....
Isn't she CUTE?!
Let me just tell you....
I have been stalking Craig & HIS LIST trying to find a dresser to go on this wall in my living room FOR-EVA!! And finally, I found one!!

The best part about it....I only paid $50.00 for it!!!
BOO-YAH!!
One thing that I have learned about Craigslist....
You can find what you are looking for & at the price you wanna pay, if you are just PATIENT!
And believe me folks, patience is not my virtue!

However, being CHEAP is!
So, I was willing to hold out for a while & I am SO glad I did!!
I was thinking originally, that I would have to paint the dresser & change out the hardware, but now that I have had it a couple of weeks, I'm really thinking these little round knobs that are on it,
happen to be really cute!!

Therefore, I am probably going to use them afterall, but I may have to give them a couple coats of
spray paint to get them the color I want them.
These knobs....
Not so much!
I will definitely be changing these out!

You can see that the dresser does have some imperfections....
A few scratches here & there
But, she definitely has good bones! She also happens to be REAL wood! All of the drawers slide in & out easily as well, so I think once I'm finished, she is going to be beautiful!!
FINGERS CROSSED!!
Have you bought anything off a Craigslist in the past or recently?!
Has your experience been good or bad?
DO TELL!! :)

I cannot wait until this project is done! I can't believe it was only $50! What a steal! I can picture this being a teal or sea foam color with gold accents! Beautiful!

Wow! Craig rocked this time! Can't wait to see what you do with it! Cleveland has been scary warm this year too. We are typically buried in snow right now but it was 60 today and played outside with my little girl. Have a good one!
