lately i have been obsessed with buying crappy furniture {that has potential of being cute} or decor items and wanting to fix them up.
i'm on craigslist and ksl at least 3 times a day looking for my next victim.
i also make a weekly trip to the fabulous DI.
so far i have raked in a free and rather adorable desk, a cute bench, a chair, some picture frames, and these cute shelves. the shelves are the only thing i have fixed up because i have to wait until i move into a new place to know what color to paint them.
but i'm a nerd and forgot to take a before picture of these, so here is the after...
these were $6 each at the DI.
they started out as an ugly brown wood color so i bought some miss tinted white paint for only $3, i figured you can't ever go wrong with white for shelves.
so stay tuned for more of my new found hobby projects.
and if anyone ever has any leads on anything cute, or wants to come with me to garage sales, thrift, or consignment stores let me know!
