Easter Egg Dresser
I have spent the last couple of days feeding my addiction . . . not to books, but to furniture ReHAB. My latest score, a dresser, came from the shed of my BFF's dad.

Habitat for Humanity ReStore Finds
If you haven't visited your local Habitat for Humanity Restore, you need to . . . Love digging through piles of used materials due to the endless upcycling/repurposing possibilities? Then, this is the place for you.
To date, I have visited the Sullivan, IL, ReStore, the Collinsville, IL, ReStore, and the St. Louis (Forest Park), MO, ReStore, and this is what I discovered.
A school-grade bulletin board purchased for $5. I simply spray-painted it black, pinned my kiddos' artwork on it, and hung it above the mantle for a rotating display of creativity. Can you see the flaw in the cork? I can't either. I covered the small problem area with a painting, or a piece of fabric stapled to the front (my BFF's idea) would work, too.
A return visit a week later resulted in a $15/dresser badly in need of a paint job and new pulls. My youngest directed me as to which drawers would be painted what and selected the pulls from The Home Depot. The result . . . pinkalicious storage for my daughter's room.
Since I like to pretend with my girls we are eating in a French bistro (Fancy Nancy-esque), I scored this frosted glass window for $5, did absolutely nothing to it except hang it on the wall (okay, the hub hung it), and use it to write our daily menus. Ooh la la!
