I have FINALLY found something to house my food/pantry! #yay!
I have been slowly browsing thrift stores around me looking for just the right piece to function for whatever I need it for. I’ve been looking for something to hold our food that would normally go in a cupboard or pantry, and something to go right next to our door/bed to double as a night stand and hold all of the “extras”.
Mission completed.
If you can see, the doors slide both ways, it’s very light in weight and I LOVE the pale yellow color! (Yellow is one of my favorite colors, so happy) AND it matches my rug PERFECTLY, so that makes a double win 🙂
The rug its partially sitting on is yellow as a base color, then has many other colors woven in as well. It was made by the Amish of Wisconsin, close to my parents place, and I got it on a visit there years ago. It’s one of those pieces that will probably stick around for a long time.
Here is the other piece I found, with my blue “catch-all” basket sitting on top of it. ( I also have a hook that our coats call home right above the blue basket)
This drawer cracks me up tho! IT IS CARDBOARD! I have NEVER seen the like before, but it’s so awesome! So much so, that I had to make mention of it to the lady behind me in line at the Goodwill, she didn’t seem as pumped as I did, but she at least gave me what I can only call pity excitement.
I don’t care, it’s so awesome! It’s so great because I didn’t want to spend the money on something that I may not have for a long time, well I can recycle cardboard easily in SO many ways! The possibilities!
The other piece isn’t going anywhere tho. I am planning on keeping that one around, I just think it’s pretty unique and I will probably not find one like it again.
I forgot the BEST part! … and I am just going to mention one of my greatest pleasures in life is being able to find a really good deal …
There was a 50% off sale on Saturday (when I went to buy the items) …. The first one was a total of $1.50 and the cardboard drawer was $2.00.
Seriously.
