2010 Year of Pleasures #22

I worry you guys are going to get so sick of my bragging.

Solid wood dresser, beat up pretty badly but super sturdy.

$15.

I think I have a Craigslist angel.

This was actually a total accidental bit of serendipity. I have been working for weeks to try to get the garage in enough order to actually be able to park our cars inside. But I couldn’t unpack the last of the boxes because we didn’t have any shelving to put the stuff on. And it was all stuff we actually use. Tools, messy craft supplies, stuff that I didn’t want to just leave packed in a big box to dig through every time I needed to hang a picture.

But I also didn’t want to pay for shelving in a house we’re renting.

During my daily perusal of Craigslist, I see this dresser and in the description the seller mentions using it in a garage since the finish is so beat up. Ding Ding Ding!! The perfect answer to my problem. For fifteen measly dollars. I hadn’t even considered getting a dresser. I just kept trying to consolidate and stack things more carefully. Now it’s like I have my own little tool chest, except instead of lug nuts, it’s full of metal screening and feathers.
