Unit 3: Quick and Not Too Interesting

We picked this unit up for $50. It didn't have too much in it and my first bid took it. There were some decent, clean women's clothes hanging in a box that I'm going to take to a clothing consignment shop. The main interest for me was the furniture - 2 tall hutches for a dining room and a sideboard. I'll be painting the hutches to maximize their sale price. Unfortunately, the sideboard was missing some drawers so we'll be using it as a sorting table for reviewing our purchases.

  1. FYI: Take a look at http://www.designspongeonline.com/category/before-and-after and go through their before and afters, they do an amazing job on transforming pieces!!! I love their work and when we get a place I will be going to Goodwill and trying out some of their ideas!

  2. Sherry - thanks a lot for passing along this link. You're right, some of those transformations are just amazing! Makes me think of some options other than just slapping on a coat of fresh paint.

  3. Fascinating money making idea. I would not look forward to finding a corpse.

  4. Diane - I do have some trepidation about finding creepy things. I wear gloves when I'm going through boxes.
