So, knowing my dad has been the best blessing of my life!
He has connections everywhere. At all the college job fairs they always say
NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK!
But I have my dad and he covers it all.
Some people were moving into a smaller apartment from a house and wanted to get rid of some furniture. Instead of selling it on Craig's list to make at least a little gas money, they just gave it to my dad.
It has been sitting in my garage for a while. I Painted one book shelf a while ago and have loved the addition to my life. Now, I painted a little hutch thing and a second shorter book shelf and they have completed my life.
Deal of the century:
FREE
This is the first tall book case. The second I haven't put a clear coat on yet, so it is still in the garage... it is the same in style and make, just a little shorter and more narrow.
I haven't really decorated the top of this, I just threw some stuff on top so it didn't look so barren. {Also, the green lap and shade are a sneak peak for next week...}
All three good things were a nasty light wood color and they had a little musty smell to them. Now, they are beautiful and smell delightful.
{the finishing spray I got has a distinct candy like smell?}
So, the final cost was really only approximately $27 due to the paint that I had to but to paint it with. It would have probably been cheaper to buy a gallon of black paint however, I have yet to venture to liquid paint on furniture projects. Has anyone tried that? How does it bode?

WHAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't remember seeing the bookcase, but I could never forget that demilune dresser! They look fabulous.
I have tried it with painting my mom's kitchen table and chairs. Since we had to paint so much we thought we'd save money and just buy a gallon.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It was awful. I would never recommend it again.
*jealous*!!!
love the furniture. It looks amazing. What an awesome steal!
