Goodwill goodness

I was excited to find out that a brand new Goodwill store opened up right down the street from my in-law's house.  The store was huge, clean, and I found exactly what I was looking for when I went in there last week.  My girls recently moved into their own rooms, so my youngest daughter, Aubrie, needed more furniture.  I was so excited to find this for $29!


Excuse the bad cell phone picture but this is the only one I took of it before.  But you get the idea- and I was happy to see that all the knobs were in great condition and I wouldn't even need to replace those.  And, her furniture is white, so all I needed to do was a little touch up paint and it would be ready.

So, I loosely covered the knobs, sanded it a little and gave it a couple coats of Rustoleum white spray paint I already had on hand in a satin finish.  Like how I just grabbed a rag towel and an old shirt I had on hand nearby?  Teehee.



It dried overnight, and only because it got too windy to put a clear sealant on it, or else I would've had it done in one day.  Its very dry here in Southern California so the paint usually dries quick here.


But I love it in her room, it fits in there perfectly and is perfect to hold her treasures.  I still plan on finding a small chair for her to use here, and a bulletin board or chalk board to put above it for her. Perfect girly goodness.  :)
