Like the cabinet?  I found it at a junk/antique store in North Carolina.  Did you know most places will give you 10% off just for asking?  And did you know if you pay cash you can usually get 15-20% off the price?  And did you know if the piece has been there for,like, ever (Or looks like it has been there forever) you can get a lot more off?  This cabinet was shoved in a corner barricaded by a bunch of other stuff.  I used that to my advantage.  “Hey Mr. Owner I’ll give you $60 cash for this piece because you have had it forever, no one can see it, and you need to clear some inventory.”  He didn’t like it but he knew I was right.  He had it listed for $160.  I got it for $60.  Don’t be afraid to ask and remember cash is powerful.  (I bought this and a 5 foot locker while 8 hours from home–with a car that was packed…Thank you Jack and Jan for foregoing luggage and packing your clothes inside these pieces of furniture so that you could fit them inside your car and drive them to me.)

While we are talking about this piece of furniture—Remember this post from two days ago?  Peeky Peekerton or 5 Minutes to Awesome?  I know, riveting, right?  But wait, there’s more!

(Ok it is a little blurry because I shot the picture fast.  Starbucks is getting ready for Christmas!)

No peeking!  But do you know what was peeking at me?  In my OWN house?

I know! Right?  I took care of that in 5 minutes.

Don’t tell my husband I used one of our good steak knives.
