thrifty tuesdays: your trash, my gem

while browsing (or blog stalking) on an old friend's blog i came across this inspirational diy project.


leah, the author of boy + girl, transformed this old secretary's desk into a functional vanity/jewelry box.

she has a great eye for design and immediately knew this beauty had potential.
she snagged the desk from her local thrift store for $10.00.



a couple coats of paint and it was transformed, almost...



she also found this jewelry tray at her local thrift store for $1.00, what a steal.
it is the perfect solution for keeping her jewelry organized.



notice the lovely paper lining the drawers and table top?
she purchased it for $.10/sheet and simply mod podged it to the desk, stunning.



i love the subtle color and pattern to the paper.
it adds that extra special touch.



the charming anthropologie knobs complete the look.
total cost: $44.00
i would say this is a diy success!



what do you think?
