Apartment Reveal #2

We have been getting slack from some people about not including more pictures of our apartment. So here you go. Now I know some of you were impressed with the Entertainment stand in our family room but this is one is even better. This stand doubles as a TV stand and a tool chest. It is very sturdy so we don't have to worry about the kids knocking the TV over.



I included this great picture because some have specifically asked to see our bargain lamp. It is a great table for a computer and doubles as our only light in the family room. Because we have such great window treatments, they keep our apartment kind of dark hence the reason for no lamp shade. We rescued this great piece of furniture from being thrown into our local landfill. Yes we had to modify it a little to get it to work but it has turned out to be a great asset to our apartment. I have yet to be called by HGTV but am sure once they see my imaginative use of many multi-functional pieces they will be begging me.

Here is the breakdown:

Tool Chest/Entertainment Stand: $59.99 at your local hardware store

Lamp/Computer Table: FREE from the neighbors trash

Time spent with two kids and a husband 24/7 for 30 days in a 350 square foot apartment: Still Priceless

Our apartment's big reveal

Some of you have waited so patiently for the big reveal of our apartment. Finally it is here. I am thinking about taking a job on HG.TV to be a "Stager". I think they will be begging me after they see how great our apartment looks. My favorite find for our apartment was the great window treatments. They were bargained priced at 50 cent at the local thrift store. I think they really open up the space. I would have to say my next favorite piece is the nice sage green entertainment stand. It was a bargain find from our local Wal-mart. It is a multi-functional piece that not only serves as a TV Stand but also a storage unit.

Here is the breakdown:

Window Treatments: $.50

Multi-functional Entertainment stand: $5.00
