Thrifty Thursdays #4

Thrifty Thursday is back!  I've been hard at work on a ton of thrifty projects, and can't wait to share them all with you here.

Thanks to everyone who added links last week - let's see if we can break last week's record of 14 posts! 

Here's my thrifty score of the week - another ReStore find. I got an email on Saturday suggesting that I brave the icky rain/sleet weather to visit ReStore because they were offering 20% off the Entire Store! How's a girl supposed to resist that?

 I went looking for old desk drawers that I could upcycle. Found them for $1 each (0.80 after the discount). But that's not even the best deal. My heart started beating a little faster when I turned the corner and saw this:

It was love at first sight.  It reminds me of a bedside table, but it's bigger.  I made up my own "sold" sign and slapped it on it, also removing the price to show to the cashier. I was so afraid someone else would buy it before I could! It's perfectly distressed - better than I could have done if I tried to do it myself.    I'm going to use it in my new shabby chic style studio as a place to display some antique sewing machines and other vintage goodies. Oh, and after the discount, it was $20! I'm going to change out the hardware, so I'll post "after" pictures when she's all done and accessorized.

OK, now it's your turn - what's been happening in your crafty/thrifty world?  Link it up below:

Studio Update

Well, half the floor is done in the basement/studio area.  Now, I'm purging and organizing.  Hard to stay on track.  I'm making good use of my Pinterest Creative Studio Spaces board to remind me of the ideas I want to try. Also, here's a new site I just found that has lots of studio storage ideas, cleverly called Crafty Storage. 

As I'm going through this process, I'm wondering if anyone out there has great sewing storage ideas to share.  If so, please leave them in the comments.

Has anyone done the comic book board thing shown on Smashed Peas and Carrots?

And, don't forget, tomorrow's Thrifty Thursday - we had more entries than ever last week (14).  Let's see if we can top that this week.  I know you have great stuff you can share.  I'm pretty flexible - if it's thrifty in any way, please add it to the party!
