Another amazing bargain.

Yesterday, I posted pictures of a sweet little nightstand that I scored for $5 at my local Habitat for Humanity Restore. I couldn't believe it was priced so low! I know some folks who say they never have anything good but mine is amazing!! Don't believe me?? Let me prove it to you...

This end table/nightstand or whatever you want to call it was in really good condition, it just needed a little boost! The price tag??

Five. Dollars. Amazing, right?? They're having a big sale on Saturday, too! I'm seriously getting spoiled with these ridiculously cheap finds! Anything above $5 just seems overpriced now :-)
So keeping with my "use the supplies I have" motto, I mixed some white paint with a little Behr "Black Bean" to create a nice light shade of gray. I don't know about you, but I LOVE these little sample sizes that Behr makes. It's the perfect amount of paint for something small like a night stand or end table. And the best part is they are only $3 each! I get mine at Home Depot but I'm sure you can find them elsewhere.
So are you ready for the after??

I have to say this has definitely become a favorite of mine!! I still need to line this puppy, but I just love the clean frame and line detailing on the drawers!
This jar of buttons is really meaningful to me. Both the jar and buttons belonged to my grandmother. She passed away when I was six years old. My grandfather never went through any of her things so after he passed away in 2010, we were left with lots of sewing supplies and I decided to hang on to these.
I just love them :-)
And I love this, too!
 
I'll add another picture once it's lined and then it's going up for sale.
Happy Friday!

  1. What a super find. No, our Habitat is higher than most retail stores and there isn't much to choose from either. Too bad.

    1. That's to bad, Marty! Every now and then I see things that are a priced too high but then they redeem themselves with $5 nightstands :-)
