Recycle...Reuse....Re-purpose:
Since Aimee turned 4 years old, I've been wanting to get her some furniture of her very own. I also want to follow my New Year Resolution--Recycle, Reuse, Re-purpose.
New Lamp: So, I found an old lamp at a local garage sale for $2.00. I let the ugly thing sit in my garage until I found my creative spirit, and then I gave it a complete 'face-lift'.
Lamp Cost: $2.00
Materials: $ 6.48 ($2.98 for cloth material, $3.50 for feather boa at Walmart, re-purposed for a lamp.)
Total Price: $8.48
New Dresser: Found dresser at different garage sale...$10.00. Old white paint, kinda beat-up! Just my style :-)
Dresser Cost: $10.00
Materials: $ 12.50 ($6.00 for sandpaper, $2.50 for paint primer Walmart)
Total Price: $22.50
Effect: PRICELESS--Such a magical start to Aimee's Princess Room! She love it and is so happy, and even puts her own laundry away in her new drawers!!
