Since I updated my studio last year, I have been looking for some shelving to go a the bottom of the steps. I considered doing a custom built in but then the cost became prohibitive so I started to keep my eye out for something that would work from a garage sale. I found the perfect piece about three weeks ago for only $10. Awesome, right? It works just perfect for my space. Of course it did not start out looking like this. I painted it red and then sanded some back off. With the speed of the internet here in the north woods at Camp Grandma, I am unable to post more that one picture per blog entry. But the process was the same as I did with this and this. I love my new garage sale find and always keep my eye out for something old that I can make new again.
