Jesse talked me into riding on the back of his motorcycle over to the next town. While we were there I talked HIM into stopping at a garage sale/thrift store type place. And this is what we found!!!!!!!!!!! Had to get Justin to drive the truck out to us to load it up and get it home, though. It has the flour bin in the top and a potato bin drawer in the bottom. It is missing the roll-top door/front but I think I can wait to get it replaced or fixed because I kinda like it open so I can put stuff on display. Since we got it home, I also have finally found a simple black wine rack for 2 bucks (!) at the library thrift store -- exactly like what I wanted. Jesse went and bought me 4 bottles of cheap $3 wine to put in it.... well, now we're down to 3 bottles of cheap $3 wine.... but I'll have to post a picture of it on top of the cabinet -- it is perfect!
We spent the month of February focused on the dining room. We put down vinyl flooring, added a punch of bright white with new baseboards and door/window casings, and new blinds like the ones in the master bedroom and bathroom. Jesse added some tin doors to the jelly cabinet - it still needs to be "rusted" and have a design punched in it. We are looking for a new curtain rod and we plan to add some greenery to the top of the hutch. Next month we are going to work in the guest bathroom since we got new towels as a gift recently.
