Last Sunday we took the day off from projects and all work around the house. Instead we planned a trip to Goodwill and a couple other places. We started out at Goodwill since it was the farthest away and planned to stop at the other 2 on the way home. Well, by the time we loaded up our goodies from the first stop, we had to head for home and unload so we could go again! yep…a good time was had by all!
Blanket chest 
bar stools 
potting station
This blanket chest was our big find at Goodwill. It appears to be brand new, no scratches, no scuffs. We plan to put this in the guest room and use for extra blankets etc. Pretty cool find, but Patti has nixed my suggestion to paint it!! For now, taking up space in the dining room! Looks like the guest room will be the next room for redo!
We also found these bar stools dirt cheap. On Monday Patti combined them with a piece of wood we had on hand and made a potting station. For now, I suspect it will be used as our project/work table. It also has a handy shelf made with more old wood and slid into place by removing some of the rungs on bar stools. Pretty fast project and something we really needed! We also sweated our butts off Monday and cleaned up the garage and work space, so now we are ready to roll! Oh…….and Monday afternoon we both went to the chiropractor! Oh our aching backs!! We are still working on that “you’all need to slow down thing”!!
