A new home for vintage pieces.

On Sunday something epic happened: I had a little over an hour at home alone.
The Girl was at a birthday party and The Boy went to the beach with Hubby and Hubby's cousin.
I stayed home since I was in charge of picking up The Girl, so I came up with a quick project while everyone was out.


I took an old CD storage unit from our garage.
{I never let Hubby sell it at a yard sale because I knew that one day I would use it.}
I hauled it through our house to our front yard.


I removed every other shelf.


I cleaned it up, and put it in the corner of our livingroom to display some of my vintage pieces.


I have 4 shelves without anything, so that means I need to hit up some thrift stores and yard sales.
Poor me. ;)
I love the re-purposed shelf.
And every time I look at it, I am reminded that I had an hour at home with peace and quiet.



Happy Wednesday, friends.
