Christmas Break+Craigslist=FuN

I have been hunting for a china cabinet for several years, but finally really started looking in October.  I found this gem about an hour away for less than it cost to fill my vehicle up!  I love a bargain!!!!!!  The wife wanted a new china cabinet for Christmas.....not sure if she knows what a fun piece she was selling!  It was perfect for me.  After painting and then 'beating it up' it is just perfect for me!

Initially I wanted to display my china in it, but decided on this for starters.




Here is the before-dark & dated!  I love all of the storage: there is a shelf on one side and then a drawer on the top part of the left cabinet.
I also found, on Craigslist, a dresser for Lyndon's room (pictures turned out horrible so I'll post later) and Cody bought a camper travel trailer.  We enjoyed finding bargains, but they also took a lot of waiting and searching to get the best item for the best price.  We both had fun.
