My good friend Jamee called me about this piece she saw at a yard sale a couple weeks back. Since I was near it I stopped by and was glad I did! Even though it looks pretty sorry, it has HUGE potential and is very sturdy! I paid a whopping $5 for it and even had it delivered to my door. It doesn't get much better than that!
In the mean time, I will continually be scraping off the veneer (not my fave). It's going to be a job and the only motivating factor is that when it is off I can begin the transformation process! This one is going to be hard to let go...still haven't decided if I will.
I also picked up this little stool/step for $2 at an estate sale and though I do not have a before photo just imagine weathered boards with rusty nails and you've got it. I scrubbed it good and gave it a white wash look then stenciled the crown and words "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON", definitely words for a mother of only boys to live by ;)
Did I mention this is going in my bathroom to help my little ones reach the sink. I figure when I am cleaning up their mess the saying will help :) Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful Fathers Day! I am fortunate enough to have a great dad and be married to one who both support me in all my craziness. Well, that's it for now. Hope you enjoy!

Cute, as usual!
You've done some great projects! What a great deal on the desk. When you get things that look that bad it is such a thrill to transform them into something beautiful!
