rave!

A new Goodwill store just opened up near my house! I am elated. Overjoyed. Ecstatic!
I went there today and their women's selection is quite awesome. Lots of cute designer items. They had French Connection... Free People... BCBG...

I was also able to find 4 cashmere sweaters in cute colors for some as yet undetermined project (likely handbags of some sort).

Their housewares section was a bit on the slim pickings side but I'm guessing that it will improve as they get more and more donations to that location.

Finally something good comes to the north end!

i love the thrift store

Check out the changing table that J found at the thrift store for $20.


On Saturday I spent about 2 hours sanding off the top layer of finish with our little power sander.
I still have some detail sanding to do... around the spindles and some of the other areas that I couldn't reach with the power sander. Once I'm done with sanding I plan to paint it in a semi-gloss black and do some nice distressed details on the edges.

Then all we'll need is a changing pad to go on top and several nice baskets to hold things on the shelves underneath.

I'll post another pic when it's done.
