the other day i was bored and all alone and feeling very inspired so i went to value village, union gospel mission thrift and ross to see if there was anything that struck my fancy. oooh!!! and boy did my fancy get struck!
one of the projects that i have been dying to do is a diy table from a suitcase seen here:
weve been trying to figure out the perfect coffee table, and its been a challenge because its such a tight squeeze between the couches, so i thought that a custom suitcase table would be fun. luckly i ran across this perfectly green one at ugm.
 |
| its in great shape and was only $4.99! |
 |
| the only sort of lame thing is that it has this "washington" apple sticker on it. but i kinda like it. |
 |
| it even has the key to lock it. |
i went to home depot after i picked this puppy up to look for some table legs. they didnt have any i liked, so i just bought two 48in dowels that we can cut down and stain and use for legs. i gotta get will to help me with the rest of this project. i dont pre-drill holes well or cut things with saws. it freaks me out.
i also picked up some lavender seeds and two little pots while i was at home depot. i couldnt resist!
NEXT...
ive been really stoked on glass cloches made from cheese plates. they are all over bloggerland, like here, and i think they are absolutely adorable. so when i stubbled across this one at value village, i couldnt pass it up.
 |
| it was only $3.99 and the plate is marble. |
 |
| a quick coat of black spray paint to clean it up and it looks like new. |
 |
| this little birdie is just a temporary dweller until i can find a permanent resident. |
AND LASTLY...
ive been drooling all over giant wall hanging letters and i almost bought these ones from urban outfitters two weeks ago, but i stumbled across these bad boys at ross and picked them up instead.
 |
| they are a lot bigger and better quality, i think. |
 |
| and for $3.99 each, you cant really go wrong. |
