As many of you may know, we moved here with very little furniture. We have graciously received a dinning room table from Candi and a love seat from one of Jake co-workers (as our sofa and love seat that should have already arrived won't be here until at least early August). We've also been searching yard sells and have found 2 book shelves. One is very practical, not that pretty and we've put it in our bed room. The other we paid 5 dollars for - it was a hideous maroon color - not just because it was maroon - which doesn't fit our house, but because it was an ugly maroon. We spent a few day sanding and staining it and now it's a beautiful bookshelf and holds our aquarium.
We also made a trip to the junk store with Candi and Reese.
We all found treasures that we couldn't live without, well, we could live without most of them, but did find a few goodies - such as a wonderful solid oak step stool for $7!! We were a little confused to find some of our finds labeled Not For Sale..... so you're just storing some stuff at the store??
We're constantly searching for more gotta have its and great bargains - I'll keep you posted.
