A Summer Project!

I've been saving up for a new television stand I saw at Target.  It wasn't fancy, but it was red and close to what I have had in mind.  We've never had a decent TV situation at our house.  We've never had cable (because we don't want cable). That aside, we have a smaller TV and I wanted to have something interesting to set it on.  My $165 Target stand was red.  Hmmm.  That's not super interesting.  I like the idea of accent furniture and even making something uninteresting, like a TV stand, into a conversation piece.  I found it.  My grandmother and grandfather's old house is coming down this year.  Within are many odd furniture pieces, broken things, weird things.  I found this old dresser and knew it was way more interesting than the dumb Target piece I'd been saving for.  I love it.  $8 for red paint.  A few holes here and there.  Some new hardware for $20.  LOVE IT!  This so easily could have been tossed away.  Luckily, it is a super solid piece of furniture and will probably last until the end of time.  What fun!  I wish I could show my grandmother.
