Free!!

I was browsing craigslist the other day, just looking at what was listed in the "free" department. I found this ugly dresser with only one drawer. But thought maybe I could turn it into something useful. And Tyler said if I couldn't he'd just use it for shop fire wood. So it was a win-win pickup.



It needed shelves in the other slots in order to be useful, so I used leftover pieces from when we made the baseboard moulding for our house. Great use for them and another "free" aspect!



I am always attracted to dark blues and reds when I'm in the paint section at Wal-Mart or Home Depot, but I thought since it was for the closet, I'd break out of the mold. I went for a light bluish periwinkle.



I had to move the upper shelf in my closet up, even out of sight I guess, but it seems to have been worth that loss of space. I moved the sheets that were up there into the drawer and the trunk.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with my new organized closet for $6 worth of paint!
