These Boots were Made for Junkin'!!!

A recent junk excursion left me feeling like my neon orange Nikes are not adequate for scaling hills to enter old, dirty barns in search of junk. After an impromptu trip to the local TSC, I think I have found my Nikes' replacements. Behold, my new #junkboots!!! Can't wait to break them in!

Entertainment Center turned Dress-up Wardrobe

I had the opportunity to make another piece for my #1 customer AND test out my skills at making one of these fun dress-up wardrobes that are all over Pinterest! Whew! Let me tell you--- if you are looking to try one of these you have your work cut out for you!


First we had to lug the thing into our basement which was a hassle and a half. THEN we had to "gut it" (AKA rip out the shelf on the top).

Then came the fun part-- PAINT! We used this awesome turquoise that I had used on other tables in her family room where the wardrobe was destined to gp. How can you not be happy painting with a color like this?? It's bEaUtIfUL!!!

Then I painted a backing to match the other tables, added some funky knobs for hanging jewelry, put up the rod for hanging clothes, and added some gold flair on the bottom. VOILA! Dress-up wardrobe complete. Now I'm looking for someone who wants a play kitchen!!!!
