Hi y'all! Great news to share: we got 2 offers on our house last week and we accepted one this weekend. Woowoowooo-hooo!
Of course it's not a done deal until the money is in the bank, but it's a first huge step in the right direction, right?
So, to celebrate, I bought something.
Last Saturday while our house was being shown, I was driving around with the kids and happened upon a yard sale. I saw this dresser and loved it. I couldn't believe it was still there at 3 in the afternoon.

Last Saturday while our house was being shown, I was driving around with the kids and happened upon a yard sale. I saw this dresser and loved it. I couldn't believe it was still there at 3 in the afternoon.

But then I opened it up and saw inside~not very practical storage, nothing worked, it was covered in 10 layers of dust, and we're moving. We're supposed to be getting rid of stuff, not buying, right?

So, I left it there, but I couldn't stop thinking about it all week. I loved the handles, the shape, the size, it was real wood, and I began thinking I could remove the old record player and radio and put in some shelves perhaps? And for $10~what was there to lose?
Why didn't you get it, Melissa?

I went back on Friday crossing my fingers and guess what? The nice lady still had it in her garage, I handed over the $10, and she helped me load it into the back of the van. Wahooooo! I put some Target 75% off finds on top I found Wednesday night during another showing. It's a good thing there won't be any more showings, or I might keep finding more things. I'll have to show you what I found at the Dollar Tree later.... ;)

I can't wait to get to work on it. I want it to be a classic, timeless piece that I could find a home for wherever we move to. And I love that I will always remember celebrating the sale of our house here when I look at it.
Of course, I'll show you the after when I'm finished. I'm also planning on taking you on a virtual tour of our house with befores and afters too~you know I didn't have a perfectly clean house for one whole week without taking some pictures, right?? I'll also talk about what I did to get it ready to show. Wow, I'm promising a lot, aren't I? :)
Happy Monday, y'all~
