My Goodwill Find of a Lifetime
I know I have said this so many times but I love going to Goodwill! I love to look for pieces of furniture that are ugly. Now this piece is not ugly but no one wanted it. I couldn’t figure out why until I really started looking at it.

What girl doesn’t like a little sparkle? Is that even a question? So one day I was looking at my almost empty container of hair treatment and noticed the shape of the container. There was no way I was throwing it away so….. Continue reading
My $27 Makeover
On one of my Goodwill visits I found this desk that was badly beaten up. 
It had a

I also bought two cheap plastic stools. To see my quick improvement on the stools click here. Continue reading
