Every thrifty sissy needs a thrifty honey and wow do I have one. Here is the low down. My husband had a customer who came by his work to pick up some material. As the customer got ready to leave he asked if he could throw some things in their dumpster. My husband asked what he had. Believe it our not he had a 2 door wall cabinet and a bathroom vanity missing one drawer and one end. Being the thrifty honey he is, he brought them home.
While we pondered what to do with the vanity, the final decision was to see if he could make it into a desk for our grandson. He was able to use a piece of a pallet and some scrap wood to make an end for it. He had an laminated desk top leftover from an office remodel at his work. Some wood filler and 2 cans of spray paint later... a desk. The only thing we had to buy was 2 cans of spray paint from Lowes ($3.98 each). I just stand amazed at my thrifty honey, who is so creative. I must apologize to him for all the fun I have made concerning his pack rat syndrome. It was some of the pack rat wood he brought home to use "someday" that enabled him to make this desk.
Here are some pictures of the "pack rat" desk project. Thanks honey for being so very smart and talented.
You all check your "someday" stash and see what you can come up with.
Happy thrifting !
