This piece of furniture makes me super happy! 

I love, love, love it! And I have more storage for all of my junk!
(…don’t worry, I have a plan for covering that ugly air vent without compromising air flow! Will share soon!)

And the best part – it cost me $20 total!

    Love it! What color of paint is it? Fabulous job with all those nooks and crannies!

  3. Natalie says:

    Thanks! I spray painted the whole piece with Rustoleum Gloss Fern and after that dried, I took my paint brush and lightly painted Apple Barrel Aquamarine with a drop of Apple Barrel Turquoise to acheive the weathered look! Can you believe its acrylic paint AND that it works like a charm?!
