Trash to Treasure

I was at work one day on break taking a walk and found this coffee table on the side of the street. I knew I had to have it. So after work my coworkers and I drove over there to pick it up. I was so happy it was still there. We loaded it in my suv and man that thing was heavy. Anyways I finally got around to painting it and putting it in my living room. I'm so glad I went walking that day.

Here's the before pic:

Pottery Barn Look alike........

I have been looking all over the net for ideas for my twins room. The room is very small so they needed something that was going to be functional and with lots of storage. One day I came across Ana White's website and found this store it bed with hutch plans and I knew that would be perfect for their room.


here's what their bedroom look like before:

Here's a pic from Pottery Barn Teen:


This space is where the hutch will go:


We did not make the beds. I found some at Big Lots they were $88 when we bought them on sale, but they are reg. $99 still not bad.












Now we have decided to go up with the hutch and make it taller so they can have their own tv and even more storage.
This is a pic of what it will look like when we are done:
This was such a fun project to do. I ready to take on another one.
