i might be the crazy lady digging through your trash...

I have picked up a sortof bad habit from my father in-law over the years.

He always drives by real slow when he sees something that might be of value in somones garbage..

though im not as bad as he is about it i find myself doing the same thing.

i dont usually stop unless its something i have been looking for for a long time or if it looks to good to pass up.

this week i was in that situation..
i have been looking for a book case type thing for both of the kids rooms. something i would be able to paint and match to the room styles of each kid.

well guess what ..





these beauties were just sitting out on somones curb. abandoned.

they were calling my name..
i drove by three times

and then i just had to-it was like uncontrolled..

i picked them up and put them in the back of my car.
when i got home i was imagining all the wonderful ways i would be able to redo them and make them work in my kids rooms.

now these are the before pictures mind you i am going to upcycle them to the best of my ablility

but hey if it doesnt work out they were free and all it cost me was some time and energy right?..right!?!?!
