trash to treasure

First, since I haven't posted since before we went to the Bahamas, I wanted to say that it was an amazing trip!  More than we dreamed of!  Absolutely incredible!  Here we are during our dolphin excursion.

And now for my trash to treasure...

I'm horrible about upkeep to my car, so when it started shaking once I got up to highway speed, I knew that I needed to do something about it.  Not only was my balance off, but also the back two tires were practically bald...not a good thing when I had plans to drive out of town on Sunday.  The tire place could fit me in on Saturday morning, so I woke up early and headed in to drop it off.  Knowing that my hubby got back in the wee hours of the morning from DJing a dance, I didn't wake him to give me a ride back home while waiting, so I walked to my office.  On the way there, I passed a garage sale and found a sewing cabinet that had great potential, and it only cost me $1.

I was so excited about it and had some time to work on it while waiting for my car to be finished that I got started right away.  I wiped it down (and found a few spiders in the process) and removed the pulls.  I had black spray paint left over from a previous project and had some cool knobs that I bought at Hobby Lobby when they were on sale for a different project.  I lined the drawers and the top with a zebra wrapping paper that I bought for another project, so I had everything on hand.  And this is what I ended up with...

I absolutely love the transformation!  This is by far my favorite trash to treasure project!  It has totally inspired me to do many more.  I have a few end tables in my house that have seen better days.  I can't wait to see what I can do with them.
