Great find!

While shopping at a junk store in our town my mother in law found this table and it was white on bottom and oak on top. The store owner sold it to us for $10! I couldn't believe it. So I put about 3 coats of high gloss black on it and it took about a month to really cure good. And BAM! It's beautiful in my foyer.

Antique Table

Here is an antique table that my parents owned forever and have no idea where they got it from, but it was just a regular brown wood color so I painted it bright red and distressed it (hard to see the distressing in the pic).

Nightstand

My mom and I found this nightstand for $13 and it was beat up and painted a hideous lime green. So I painted it with leftover green from the buffet that is below this post and added hardware to the front for $3.

Today I bought extra Pilsbury biscuits b/c if you bought four you get a $2 store coupon to use on your next visit for whatever you want. Well it didn't print out of the machine so I had to get it fixed. The girl kept my reciept by accident so I will try and remember what I bought.
