Updates.

Just a few random updates around our home that have taken place...

First up, I've been stalking Craigslist lately looking for a table for our playroom.  I really wanted a Pottery Barn Kids table, but I knew the only way that would happen is with a good Craigslist deal.  Sure enough, the Lord pulled through and provided this PBK table for a fraction of what it cost brand new.

If you've been to our house, you know that our kitchen is in dire need of storage space.  When we first moved in, we had our pots & pans below the oven, which made it impossible to use them without having to take them all out and put them all back in.  Such a hassle.  My Mom and Sister were out at garage sales one day and found this pot holder from Ikea, still brand new in the package plus the hardware, for $10.

My Sister and I were thrifting one day, when I saw this empty frame.  It needed some paint, but I couldn't pass on the $2 price tag.  I painted it with a color I already had from my bench project...and wa-la, cheap, easy, and cute! 

That same day I saw a set of shutters for $2.  I took them apart and gave one to my Sister, hot glued the boards together so they wouldn't flip around, and gave it a good clean job.  Now it sits by our front door to remind me to put bills or cards in the mail.  

Nothing overly exciting, but just a few fun (and cheap) updates!
