Repurposing, again

There is a thrift shop that You Know Who and I like to go to on Saturdays. He likes it as much as I do, which makes it even more fun. I've had my eye on this item for about 3 months. I kept thinking, don't do it, there's no room, for goodness sake, where will you put it.
~ This past Saturday seeing the price had dropped again, I sighed and walked on past this funky monstrosity (five feet long, six feet high). Then I heard words, magical words, "If you get rid of the Ikea shelves, you can get the cabinet." Nice guy that he is, he brought it home for me just on the promise that I would.... Several hours later...... My new craft room storage. As if that wasn't enough treasure for the day, after two years of searching, I finally found a marble piece in good enough condition to bring home. It used to be a dresser top. Now it's my counter in my kitchen. It is sitting on a kitchen cart from Ikea. (I love Ikea, I hate Ikea)

What a fun and tiring day!
