The forecast calls for the first BIG snow fall of the season starting today and all I want to do is cuddle up on the couch with a pile of quilts and hot cocoa. I have a feeling my fur babies wouldn’t mind joining in too.
Don’t get my wrong, I love everything about Minnesota, but could we just forget about the snow and cold weather. If it wasn’t for family and our amazing thrift stores here, I would be packing my bags and moving somewhere that didn’t have temperatures below 50.
With the colder weather beginning I can finally start tackling some in-door projects that I have been ignoring over the summer / fall.
A few weeks ago I spotted this SUPER cute side table while browsing the isles at Target but goodness I couldn’t justify the price.
Not long after falling in love with the two toned whicker side table at Target I came across this canned round piece at the Goodwill for $4.00. Although the style is a little different I knew I could make it cute with a little paint. And I mean … $4.00 vs. $63.00 !!!!!!
With a few coats of white paint I had my canned side table like new again. I used painters tape to section off the area where I wanted the paint to stop.

As much as I wanted to splurge and buy the side tables at Target I am so happy I waited and found something that turned out just as cute.
JOSSIE - WHAT A STEAL! LOVE IT!
laura - Yours is far cuter! Adorable and what a great idea. I will be looking for something like this in the future during my Saturday thrift shop adventures.
heather smith - Score. They look like Bentwood side tables. Which you can purchase on 1stdibs. For not 4$ LOL. Looks so good!!!
