Moving memories and mice

So this isn't the cabinet that we moved but since I am a total loser when it comes to cutting and pasting my pictures on this blog......anyway, I bought/won this p.e. locker room metal basket shelving unit at my kids' school auction for $41. Pricey for me, yes, but it was for a good cause. I have been meaning to take a poll of our 19 (yes, 19!) followers for their opinion of uses of said shelves. Presently it is holding shoes and sports equipment. Pantry? Crafts, if I actually was crafty? Stuffed animals bought for 25 cents at yard sales? (I think mine have figured out how to reproduce. My house is overrun).




Here are the pictures that are supposed to be on top. Here is the lead paint-covered, brown recluse habitating, mouse-loving cabinet.

Here is the top piece with painted glass. A shout out to my pal at St. Louis Restoration, Brett, proud propieter, who managed to get the paint off the glass as well.

Can't you just see the potential?

Readers, if you have a varmint-infested wooden object in your possession (or in your neighbor's garage, for that matter), please visit Brett. He is magical with his stripping agents! (Can't steal Nancy's thunder here with the stripping inuendo). (Pam, I still need to make a donation for this cabinet. I am a dastardly cheap louse, I know. Forgive me).

I will not be yard saling tomorrow, nor Saturday, sadly. I am assured Nancy will continue to amaze and astound us with her ability to abscond with an array of articles and artifacts.
