Dumpster Diving

So I really didn't get this out of a dumpster but I did find it on the side of the road in someones trash.  The minute I saw it I knew it had a future in my house.  My poor husband is rolling his eyes right now I know. I have had this poor thing for several months and finally was able to work on it this week.



What do you think?  My neighbor built me a bottom for it yesterday and I primed and painted it at midnight last night.  I think it turned out perfect!  It has a lot of storage also!!



I put it in my living room to match the other piece that I did. 

This is what it looked like when my mom bought it at a yard sale for $40.00
This is afterwards and now it is in my living room

I also have been working on a few frames that I picked up over the last couple of weeks. 





I also picked up some cute items at some flea markets lately that I wanted to share.  I found this cradle for the girls.  Lena loves playing babies so it was perfect for her.


I found these rooster canisters at a thrift store on Monday.   

This came from a local flea market.  The bird nest came from my wedding shower.
