Have I mentioned how much I love thrift stores? I hardly ever buy anything first hand these days.
I love the idea of things that would just end up in a junk heap somewhere getting a new life and a new use.
Here are a little dresser and book cupboard I thrifted for the girls' room. The dresser was $15 and the cupboard was $10.
Before: (lightly sanded pre-priming)
2 coats of spray primer ($3). . .

$2 worth of wood to replace a missing piece on the dresser, an $8 can of paint,
and a roll of cute drawer liner vinyl from the dollar aisle at Michael's. . .
After:
Somewhere to keep little girl books, undies, and socks other than on the floor and under the bed.
I'm happy.

Those are absolutely adorable. I also love thrift stores and saving things from the junk heaps.
WOW. Just... wow! Well done, Kate!!! Makes me want to do projects like this. It turned out gorgeously!
So cute, cheery color and fun! Nicely done. Really great accents for their room.
The color seems to match the vintage.
