Sometimes I see myself in other blogs...

Today I was catching up on some blogs and I ran across this post by Beth over at The Quilt Ladies. 

She found this  little uhhh mail organizer (?) at her Goodwill...

And with a waive of her magic creativity wand (and a little paint) she turned it into this...

Aside from the total cuteness factor and my love for organizational things...I had to post a comment on her blog because she inspired my project for this weekend (since i'm broke I gotta use what I have already)...

Here is my comment

You've inspired me - I swear I bought the exact same one at my local Goodwill maybe a year or so ago. I'm a sucker for anything organizational. I tossed it in the closet for a rainy day (or whenever I figured out what to do with it)...I will dig it out tonight and see what I can do with it this weekend! I'll be sure to link you up as my inspiration! Thanks :-)

Yep...I was sure I had picked up the exact same piece at my local Goodwill sometime last year (pre blog)

So I sent myself an email reminder and a link to her blog post so I would remember to go hunt it down.

In all of it's drywall dust (yes - I am still cleaning up drywall dust from that Spring remodel project) covered glory...it is indeed IDENTICAL! Seriously?  Pardon my messy desk...obviously I didn't take the time to crop the photo or take a fancy "before" shot.  How freaking hilarious is that?!

Tomorrow i'll be hunting down my beloved Heritage White spray paint, clear coat and a sanding sponge. Stay tuned for my finished project...I hope it turns out as well as Beth's did!
