A few weeks ago my son and I rearranged his room. Since I took the shelf he was using as a night stand and made it into this banquette area, he needed something to replace it. We searched Target, Marshall’s, Tuesday Morning and a few other stores and didn’t find anything we liked.

It’s Thrift Store Challenge time again hosted by Emily at Le Cultivateur and Tara at Stilettos and Shiplap. My item this month is a fun curb side find my husband brought home for me.

If you’ve been following me for a while then you know I love to refinish furniture.
