As some of you may have known, I wanted to try my luck with a new little venture idea. A side business that could "do good" while also providing an outlet/revenue for my creative side. And the idea of repurposed furniture for a cause was born. I am in the pilot phase, so decided to start small with this project below- a little girl's wardrobe made out of an old entertainment center I bargained down at a thrift store. A friend/colleague at Anthropologie is on the auction board for her girls' grade school and she said she would love any donation. Voila- we had our "cause", or just a good kick in the pants to get this beast of a bureau out of the garage! Couldn't have done it without dad and mom- who donated countless hours late at night helping me to paint, paint, glue and paint this thing to perfection. I am off to the auction to see how it does! Fingers crossed :)

 |
| The other side (they don't match) |
 |
| Ribbons saying "Family" and "Best Friends Forever" for the perfect little photo board. The hooks hold jewelry or whatever |
 |
| "Live, Laugh, Love" |
 |
| Random bling, glued paper |
