Yesterday was one of those days that wasn’t a bad day, but was an annoying one. More of an overwhelmed day, a list of things to get done and not enough time, both at home and work. I had three bags of clothing and shoes to donate in the back of the car and I almost just drove past the Goodwill with the mindset that I’d drop it off later. But instead, I said just do it now.
Well, my annoying day turned into a great one! I donated my items and popped inside really quickly. I found the exact sized dresser we’ve been looking for in unfinished wood just waiting for a makeover. Best part, it was $30! About $100 – $150 less than the ones we’d been checking out on Craigslist!
And then as I was walking through I found the most darling wooden rocking chair that’s in perfect condition, just needs a seat cushion. It was only $6!
I went out back to have the crew help me load the dresser into my car and I spotted a great headboard that had just been donated. It was a full size and perfect for our guest bed. They weren’t willing to sell it since it had just been donated, but I sweet talked them so they tossed a sticker on it and sold it to me for $13.
So, in the end my kind of annoying day turned out to be pretty darn good. Can’t wait to get to work on these three pieces and start actually furnishing this house!
Love all the things you found lindsey! I’m pretty sad all the goodwill stores in Texas are no good good compared to our denver goodwills! But I will keep searching lol :)
Jenica! I almost texted you right when I found everything, but then I got overwhelmed fitting it all in my car and forgot! It’s been hit or miss, but the hit days are awesome. Good luck and hope you are well!
Great finds – which Goodwill is this? I live in Centennial. Love your blog!
Hi Julie! This was at 80th and Wads. It’s always hit or miss (as with all thrift stores), but this time was a major hit! Good luck!
