• Jul. 6, 2009 - Finally!

Posted in Frugal Living
When you decorate with yard sale decor, patience is required. For instance, we really needed some kind of side table next to a chair in the living room, but I didn't really want an traditional end table. I found a couple of old suitcases I had, put a tray on top and it served the purpose. Still, it was definitely a bit too low. That's where the patience came in. We just lived with it this way.


Unfortunately, I've had minimal time to hit any yard sales this year. However, some neighbors were holding one just down the street and I decided to make a quick stop on my way to town. Yay! I found this.


It was kind of funny, because I just stuck it in the house until I had time to mess with it. Several family members asked who the suitcase was for. (I think they were worried it was for them!) lol

Now my end table is the perfect height. Not only that, I can store stuff inside! :-) Good deal for $5.00, right?



What about you? Did you find any Weekend Wonders? If so, be sure and share them at Econobusters!

That looks adorable! Love it! I'm in need of an end table also - I may have to go suitcase shopping!
