Craigslist Does It Again!

Tuesday, July 01, 2008

There's always been this part of my house that was meant for people to hang their coats and dump their stuff on as they get in the house. But I have never found the right items to use. Well, that's not completely true. I've found them, but I just didn't want to pay $600 for it. This weekend, I finally caved in and went in search of a bench and a mirror/coat rack to fill the empty space with.

I tried the usual places- Target, Fred Meyer, etc... but eventually I found it on Craigslist. The bench has storage was $40 and JUST fit in the area! The mirror was $25. Since the mirror was originally white, I spray painted it black to match (well, as close as I could get it) the bench. Hanging it was an interesting adventure, as I am terrible at using a level, but with a little readjustment with D, installation didn't take longer than 10 minutes. Now, I hope it holds up!
