Best $25 I Ever Spent

 
 
Overhead projector $25 on Craigslist
 
Best $25 I've ever spent
 
And the only great deal I've ever gotten on Craigslist
 
Our Craigslist is not as spectacular as others out there I've heard of
 
I got this dresser at an auction, it was in good shape, solid wood and with a nice mirror too
 
 
I painted it a soft gray, using my homemade chalk paint 
 
Then used the overhead projector to trace a filigree on the front
 
Using a paint pen to fill it in made it easy
 
The hardware is original, I just spray painted it
 
I love her curves
 


If you live in Northern Virginia she is for sale at Everyday Elegance

Thanks for checking her out!

I'm partying at:
