The door from which you enter is not nearly as important as the door from which you leave.
Craiglists and some creativity strike again
Situation: I’m moving
Issue: I need furniture
Problem: I am Cash poor (paid almost 2000 just to move in!)
Solution: Craigslist!
I found these two end tables on craigslist for $10 bucks (pretty good deal, solid wood, sturdy). How they looked than was not really my cup o tea… not really into the gold trim or the mirror inlay but when I saw the ad online the left side (thats the creative part) of my brain kicked in…
After a short trip to Home Depot and about 2 hours of labor (spread over a couple days) this is the out come. Two asain modern black zen end tables for use as night stands of in the living room.. or one in both.
Cost
Tables: $10
Paint: $7
Sandblock: $3
Velco: $5
Red Fabric $4
Total cost for 2 cool end tables I can say are one of a kind PRICELESS, HA! Actually the total was $29. Not bad…. Not bad…
