My pretty bedroom and $5 find!






I cleaned up my bedroom to take pictures today to show you how it looks. (The rest of the house is a disaster! No pictures there!) I found an awesome thing for $5 last Wednesday at Goodwill! It is the best $5 I ever spent! It is a 1928 vanity and mirror. It was already painted white. It had plain white wallpaper on the drawers. I ripped it off and then applied some vintage floral wallpaper I already had. It turned out so great! I was going to sell it, but I've always wanted one...so I am getting rid of other small pieces that were in my room.
The weather stinks here! Rain, then freezing, then snow and blowing on top of it. I am so ready for spring...will it ever get here? I'm begging!
Stay tuned as this is my 89th post...the next post will be White Wednesday, and then on Friday I will be doing a giveaway!
Hope you all have a good week and see you on White Wednesday!

  2. i would say you are one lucky lady. i can't believe just 5 bucks. i think all the great junk finds are west of the middle of PA. here in jersey we have nothing left. and the good will stores are few and far in between.
