I Brake For Garage & Rummage Sales

Anyone else crazy for yard sales? I can’t wait for the paper to come each week so I can see the upcoming sales! I got this cool wardrobe last Saturday for $20. It needed a little work, some of the veneer was peeling, but it really had character, lots of little carvings and details. I used some wood filler to fill in the gaps in the veneer then painted the whole thing a pale vintage green to match the bedroom (It was white when I got it) Next I distressed it–I talked about the high price of gasoline, global warming, the war in Iraq, oh and I sanded on it a bit too, after all that it looked pretty shabby! Everything in this bedroom came from a yard sale!
