You’d think all I do is look on craigslist for used furniture to feather my nest. Well, I admit I do check the ads every day, but it’s mainly for the entertainment value of weird stuff and misspelled ad headlines. But occasionally… Remember my closet with the rubber stamps in the rolling carts? Well, it might have looked nice and organized, but getting the carts in and out of the closet and finding anything was not as convenient as I had imagined it would be when I came up with that particular plan. So – guess what I found on craigslist for a mere $75? This lovely antique oak dresser which fits perfectly in the space between the sofa and my craft desk – and it provides a much better place for my rubber stamps. Easier to access, easier to find what I’m planning to use – what more could I ask for? And it’s pretty too! Al & Tom picked it up for me – furniture is, after all, their business and delivered it a few days ago. Tom even tightened up the drawers and polished it up for me. I have since filled it to the brim with stamps and other tools – and sorted out some more stamps that I don’t want for donation to someone who might – and I am loving it! I used little plastic trays in the drawers to separate the stamps by category and amazingly, everything fit.
And – the bonus here – it’s the perfect spot for my dragonfly lamp, some framed photos, my small Harmony Kingdom box collection and my white hyacinth. I love it when a plan (and a room) comes together!
