{from free to fabulous}


Last weekend we were driving down the street and saw this great corner bench sitting on the side of the road for FREE! Well I couldn't pass it up and I made Russ haul that puppy straight home! (thanks honey) Alyse and I immediately got to work sanding and painting it and later that night Russ put it together in the kitchen! I must say I love my new bench and Aly is quite a fan as well! I still have to make cushions to go on it but unitl then we are enjoying it as it is. There is such joy in turing trash into treasure! Now I am needing a new table to match my cute bench . . .

Hi Mind,
What a find! You know your a cip off the old block. I totally get the thrill of finding an old and worn out item and seeing the great potential to give it new life. You just took it to a new level!
