Ya'll are a big bunch of enablers...and I LOVE YOU for it! :)
I did go back and get the cabinet on Friday afternoon. Last night I scrubbed it good with Murphy's Oil Soap and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. I'm going to use it as a bookshelf as our other one is completely packed. I rearranged that one, threw away a whole bunch of garbage and today I got all my books in the new cabinet, and I'm so happy with it! I love that it has a door so I can close it and not look at all the mess, plus it will h
opefully act as some sort of a deterrent for Maren, who loves to pull books off the shelves and tear them up.Our other bookshelf has the tendency to collect junk as well as books and it was in pretty sorry shape prior to Friday night. We even managed to clean off the computer desk, now that there is room on the bookshelf again. I still have work to do here in the office/craft room but things are progressing.
It's still bitter cold here. The overnight temperature may get as low as -10 degrees, and it snowed all day. Unfortunately, Quin has to work tomorrow so he'll have to venture out on the icy roads early in the morning. I have lots to do around here--a mountain of laundry and still more organizing and cleaning, and I need to get cracking on listing some things on eBay. I took a long break and spent all my money so I need to get back in the saddle again and get selling! I have big plans for the money so the quicker I can make some, the better.
I'm thinking of all of you in the Midwest who are being affected by the ice storms and hoping you all still have heat and electricity! It may be ridiculously cold here but I've never had to worry that the power would go out or a tree would fall on our house! Hope you're all warm and safe.
Nice cabinet! That would go perfectly in our kitchen for extra pantry storage! Hope you get a warm front soon!
ReplyDeleteThe cabinet sounds like it fits right in at your home. I have a little pantry similar but smaller and I love it. I must say you got a much better deal on yours too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great buy! That will seve you well!

Love the cabinet. I have a similar one that I paid $20.00 for - it's an old wardrobe. I paid a guy $5.00 to cut the front of the door out and put screen in it. I use it to house my vegetable shaped dish collection. It's 15 degrees here tonight and I am MISERABLE. I do not see how you handle this cold! Brrrrr.
ReplyDeleteGreat Score! I could seriously use something like that. I wonder if it would be possible to put a door on a regular ol' bookcase? Hmmm....
