I found this shelf at my local Goodwill recently....it was $1.50...marked down on clearance for $1....
SOLD!
It's just your typical partical board shelf...not sure what this belonged to...possibly it once sat on a desk...or was a headboard to a twin bed???
Who knows, but for $1 I decided to bring it home and give it a little TLC.
As you can see, there was a big front panel on this shelf.
I took the panel off and measured the inside of the shelf.
I went by Lowe's and bought a board for $2.80 to go inside to form another shelf, came home and inserted the shelf.
I painted it all with 2 coats of semi-gloss paint I already had.
After spending a total of $3.80, I now have a great shelf for storing my sewing supplies!!
My craft room is on my list for a well due make-over......just not there yet! :-)
HAPPY FRIDAY!

WOW!
I NEVER find deals like that at our GW!
Great job!
That is awesome, what a simple but fantastic idea to make another shelf...I can't always 'see' things like that. I love your craft room, I wish I had a craft room, my sewing machine and craft stuff lives in my laundry. Have a great day, Karen xx
that's too cool to use an old storage headboard for a new hutch!
What a great idea! I would have never been able to see the potential in the old shelf like you did. I shown Jack a picture of your craft room hoping he'll get the hint I would love one too!
Good job!
Wow, that is a completely amazing deal! I LOVE what you did and how cheap it all was. Found you on Tatortots and Jello and i'm glad I did! :) Have a great weekend.

Removing that panel and adding in another shelf...well, that was pure genius! Win/win!! Pam @ Sallygoodin
Wow! What a steal for $1! Good for you for having the vision to turn the bottom half into something useful, too. It's perfect for your craft room!
Saw you at Metamorphosis Monday.
That is perfect storage, way to think outside the box!

Wow, what a deal! I'm thinking my GW is over priced lol.
Yes, I think it was a headboard. Your makeover really transformed it. What an attractive and very functional piece you've created. Well done!
That's awesome! I love Goodwill finds! :)
Wow! You did good. This is a great little cabinet and looks so sturdy. Love how you've dressed it up with the little baskets and bins. Perfect for your sewing supplies.
Be a sweetie,

Great job! What awesome storage to have in your room now!
Man I wish I had your imagination!!! I would have just walked right by that - it looks great!!
Um...this is AMAZING! You did quite the makeover for an unbelievable price! Great job!

What a great find! My GW doesn't mark things that cheap. The transformation looks great and what a lot of storage!
That's great! Only $1?!?
Which makes one wonder why people ever buy stuff new...great work...
Wow! That's amazing! Your GW must be GREAT! Ours is horrible!
I just do not find the deals at my local GW that some of you do. I want to come shopping at your GW!
This is EXCELLENT!!
Wow a whole buck!! I can't believe it was that cheap. Great idea to insert another shelf. Just love it on your sewing table. What a great find.
That's a great transformation on the piece and what a swingin' deal you got on it! The stuff at my GW is so overpriced.
I love your organization! Nicely done. I'm visiting from Fingerprints on the Fridge. I'd love it if you'd come link up at my Home and Family Friday Linky Party. I host a party every Friday.

A dollar?!?! You scored! I love GW! A couple of crafty friends and I do GW runs and hit all of them near us on a 50% off day! Super fun!
GREAT! Our GW would have charged $20 at least for that.
Love it! Gotta get giddy at a GW find like that. Thanks for sharing!
