midcentury dreaming – a thrift store score

August 6, 2012 3 Comments

Happy Monday! Sorry for the lack of posts last week but I had a fun-filled work week in Denver, which gave me no time for posting. I didn’t even get a chance to meet Nikki from The Ambitious Procrastinator for drinks like we had planned.

Here is a photo recap of what kept me busy in Denver last week.
As you know, I’m usually a thrift store failure. I’ve been dreaming of a dresser or two to use in my family room for some time now. I actually found two. This this is the second one I found. Still needs some TLC but it was a great deal and fits perfectly.

Here is a look into our family room with the dresser in its place. The room is still under construction hence the large concrete block hole still in place. And I apologize for the dark photo, but it was a stormy day as you can tell by little Lily’s Thundershirt. My dogs don’t normally wear shirts in the dead of summer.


This room is still a major work in progress but we are slowly but surely getting a general direction. One of these days…one of these days…
Anyone tackle fun projects this weekend? I’m excited that there is no travel in my future until the end of September. Maybe I’ll finally get some work done around here.
