My Makeshift Vanity, Part 1

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

I’ve managed to carve out a little space in our tiny bedroom for a makeshift vanity for myself thanks to a couple Ikea pieces, some paint, and several nails.

My husband Rich issued me a challenge over this long weekend:
For two months, I may not purchase anything new for the house BUT I must keep working on projects for the house. The exceptions: a $20 limit on supplies and a $10 limit on things from thrift stores/ yard sales/ junk shops/ etc. (I [...]
