Here's the latest stuff I've turned from shit to super awesome :)
This cupboard was $15, I spent $8 on new hardware and used paint I already had.
TOTAL: $23
I've learned from putting all my yarn in a central location that I'm partial to wools and the orange variety. The sweet picnic basket on the cupboard is also a DI find from last fall.
I got this dresser for $8 and spray painted the original hardware. I also used paint I already had. It now lives in the kid's room. TOTAL $8
These chairs were $11 and I spent $10 on spray paint. I think they add a much needed lovely pop of color to the porches. And I resisted painting them green. I usually want to paint EVERYTHING green :) TOTAL: $21
I've been wanting a hose box forever since I usually just roll it up on the ground somewhere. I was pretty excited to find this one for $10, but it was pretty scratched and beat up. So of course, out came the spray paint! God I love spray paint. This exact box is sold at Walmart for $50.
TOTAL: $15
Do you SEE why I can never part with ANYTHING?! The fact that I can see potential in pretty much everything is ruining my life :)
Good thing I'm not claustrophobic.
Wait till you see the super sweet desk I bought to use as a potting table........

Love the blue chairs. I think the fact that you see potential in things is awesome-making. And the fact that I can see carpet means that you're not at a hoarder's level of intervention-needing. yet.
I envy your ambition. Will you just find/do fun projects for me? I want to be cool like you, but without all the work.
Holy shit, there's someone out there just like me! I heart spray paint, and can't get rid of anything because I just know I can make it better...or it will work at some point in time.
AND the yarn closet is an sweet idea!!! I have my yarn in totes everywhere, and having it all in one place would be great!
