Happy, Happy Friday!  Where has this week gone?! 

 

The weekend is almost here and I haven't decided on a Saturday project, yet.

Maybe these Before & After photos will give me a little inspiration.

Here's another darling treatment of the same type of credenza.
I can't stress how reasonably priced MidCentury Modern pieces
are right now.  In a few years, don't say I didn't tell you so!

 

 

 

This 'before' vanity-turned-desk and chair set

was priced at only $20 in a thrift store.

I COVET any one's private library card catalog.
Who would have thought to use one as a

 Whether you're playing, relaxing, crafting,

or flea marketing this weekend, make it fun.
