TV Armoire for $5.00

What a weekend for treasures! 

We had heard that one of our favorite auctioneers was having an auction this past weekend.  We had not attended one of his auctions for quite some time and we were anxious to attend.   And boy am I glad we did!  We got this armoire for

015 - Copy

$5.00, a cedar chest for $60.00, desk chair for $5.00, floor lamp for $5.00 and a little white lamp for $2.00.  (Please pardon my messy garage.  It’s where all the creative things happen.)

By coincidence, my niece has been wanting a TV armoire for her living room.  She wanted it a country red to match her decor.  So I primed and painted my five dollar purchase, spray painted the hardware black and added bead board wallpaper inside the door panels.

She loves it and as soon as we deliver and place it in her living room, I’ll show you a picture of it in it’s new home. 

More posts to come of the transformation of  my other finds.
