Goodwill Contest

 My son entered his lockers for Flaunt your Finds. If you could, please vote number 2

Upcycled Table

 I went to St Vincent thrift store this morning and found this unique item. Someone upcycled their old AOL disks inside two pieces of acrylic, added legs and made a side table. I don't know if there is a market for these but I did buy it. It seems like it would be a great conversation piece.

Right Place, Right Time

 I found this lounge chair the other day at Goodwill.  Our area has two Goodwill stores and this one I don't go to often. There is a boutique located inside the store and a lot of cool stuff is tagged display/store use only.  I get discouraged and don't even want to look. However, my husband had to go to the DMV and since we were on that side of town, we stopped.

At first, I  didn't find anything I wanted. I was about to leave when I saw a worker pushing a cart with the chair on it. He was headed towards the boutique and I thought it was going to be a store use only tag. I caught up to him and asked if it was for sale. He said I think so. I told him I wanted it and grabbed the tag. I felt a little bad as he had to push it to the back because here you pick up furniture from the donation drop off.

When I got it home, I looked it up online. I was quite surprised to see the retail price. I also didn't notice it had hidden storage. Mine is gray like the Walmart ad. My phone camera is really weird with color.

Can We Fix It?

 Yes, we can. This morning I found two six cube storage shelves at Goodwill. They were wobbly but for 3.99 each, I thought I'd take the chance and try to fix them.

Unfortunately,  it wasn't as easy as tightening some screws. I looked online to see if there was a solution. I saw a reddit post where someone stated most people do not nail the back on these which is important to it's stability.

I was lucky enough to find two pieces of paneling that fit perfectly on the bottom half. It worked.

Upcycling a Media Center

 My son doesn't have a closet in his room so I decided to make him one. Well, actually a wardrobe. I found a media center for 9.99 at Goodwill. It had a couple of scratches but otherwise in good condition. My husband had a closet rod, cut it down to fit and screwed it in place. I forgot to take a photo beforehand.

The next day, I found drawers that I thought would fit perfectly in the bottom. Unfortunately,  I did not include the handles when measuring so the media center doors would not close. I ended up taking them off. This is the final project.

Check Mate

 I found this oversized chess board at Goodwill yesterday. It's 32" x 32". When I saw it, I thought it would be perfect for the coffee table base I had.

It came with a box of Avon bottle chess pieces.
