My nearly finished dresser!  I'm so happy with it.  I want to paint some gold details on the bottom so it looks more cohesive, but I think it's gorgeous as is.   And to think it used to look like this:


I knew it had potential!

This is the gorgeous mirrored vanity that I really wanted:


I like mine almost as much as I like that one.  If the price wasn't $395 I probably would have gotten it too!  

It is used though, and such a hassle to get to.  If it goes on sale, who knows...I might take it home too.

Mirrored side board:  $35 (RSP:  $700+)

I've wanted mirrored furniture for a long time, but it's always so pricey.  I saw someone selling this on craigslist for $50, but they were open to offers...I offered $35 and they accepted!

It's from Urban barn, and the retail price would have been at least $700.  I've seen them for more than that!

It does have some cracks but most are easy to hide.  I replaced the knobs with crystals.  I'm so happy with this!

I'd like more mirrored furniture, so hopefully I'll find more deals soon!

Pink polka dot trash bin:  $2
Pink brush:  $2
Glass 550 ml container:  $2.50

All @ Dollarama

I've never been tempted by the trash bins at dollarama, but I couldn't resist this one!  It was the only one there, and of course I love pink.

It's the same reason I bought the brush...that was the only one there, and it's just so pretty!  I love the clear accents.

I've wanted to try out the glass containers there for a while.  It does actually seem to be airtight, so I'm going to buy the rest of the sizes soon!

Color life broom and dust pan set
Stone powder clay
Ramage dishwasher basket
Bear bento box

$2 each @ Daiso

I haven't seen that bear bento in a while, so I'm glad I managed to get one.  I think it was probably the last of some old stock...they only had three, and this is the only one that was still packaged.

Ceramic cat toilet brush set:  $26.39 @ Bed bath and beyond (RSP:  $32.99)

I used a 20% off coupon on this.  It was way more than I wanted to pay, but I've wanted it for over a year!  When I saw it in person, I was hooked...it looks even better when you see it in front of you.

It's actually pretty big/substantial and nicely sculpted.  It does look like a piece of art!  That kind of made it more worth the price, but I would have been happier paying less than $20.

Another L'occitane freebie!  They always seem to give away the same stuff, but at least there's a neat new pouch this time.
