My Sweet Craigslist Finds

So I'm cruising craigslist looking for a glass cabinet. I think I had found one, so I went and checked it out. And it was not what I needed. Bummer..... But the lady was moving and asked if I was interested in a dresser. I thought why not! So she opens this garage, and I see the wheels on the legs. And I'm thinking SCORE! A beautiful antique dresser! I asked the lady how much, and I'm thinking she's gonna say hundreds or something. $5!!! SOLD!!!! 

The age, the worn character of it! I was in love! The top was the only thing I needed to do.





So I grabbed one of my helpers and started working!!


I think someday I will sand it all down and refinish it. But right now, I love the character of it! So a trip to Menards and found a ceiling tile. Cut it to size and VIOLA! 



Then I seen this beautiful window buried under old doors and I asked if I could see and would she sell it? So she's pulling it out and I'm in complete shock! I kept thinking please please be only missing one window of two..... Nope Perfect! How much...$5!! 




Come on over to our >>Kitchen-Remodel<< and see where I hung this gorgeous window!!


So then I couldn't help but notice these poor looking old table legs. She said they had been there laying outside her garage since they  had moved there. Take em! I had no idea what I was gonna do with them but what the heck.....



A coat of paint and some pallet board pieces! It was perfect for the little wall and don't take up alot of space.

    Thank you for another link-up on The CSI Project. You got some great prices and some great projects :) I like the last project the best, something with white legs and a wooden top really has my eye these days. I would have loved to see a tutorial on that :)

    Be still my heart! Love the old dresser and what you did with it and who doesn't love old windows! And, I love the way you took those "legs" and made it into such a cute table! Thanks for sharing!
