OK, so maybe I shouldn't have put blogging on my list for Friday!

Seeing as how I need to be DOING the things on my TO TO list... I probably shouldn't have put up that teaser about this wonderful blog post I was going to have today. Oh well.... here goes anyway... (do ya remember a few TT's ago, I mentioned that I am a procrastinator?!??!?!)
Last weekend, I went with some ladies from my church to what they call "First Monday". It is an event that is held on the weekend before the first Monday of every month. I had heard about it before and have always wanted to go but something either came up or I completely forgot about it. I'm not sure how to exactly describe what the weekend is. It's like a cross between a community yard sale, craft show, trade exhibit, and junk yard. Seriously, that's what it is. I was on a mission. There were things I was looking out for. I wanted an old wood door, a coffee table that I could 'work' on, and some kind of small piece of furniture for the hallway upstairs, I wanted either drawers or doors on it and I wanted it to be about 4' to 5' tall. We met the ladies at McDonald's at 6:45 IN THE MORNING!!!! I drove C's truck b/c I was going to come back w/ some major stuff! HA!!! The ladies all went together in the church van. What where they thinking??? When we got there (finally! b/c it took over an 90 minutes) I was blown away! The place was HUGE!!! I was kicking myself for not having brought my camera. I was so overwhelmed I didn't know where to start. But I found everything that I was looking for AND I even haggled a bit! Soooo sooo sooo proud of me b/c that is not my style! Anyway, I took pics of my treasures, mind you I bought every single one of these things with the intent of changing them. "ALTER"ing them. (HELLLOOO, blog name!!??!?!) So without further ado... I present, my door!

This is the rough version of it (obviously) I don't have an exact plan for it yet, I will either strip it and put a coat of varnish on it or paint, distress, and cover some of it with paper. I'll post pics of it when I do get it finished!!!





Sorry about the shadow, I should have pulled it out of the garage further... but this little gem is going in the hallway upstairs... it too will undergo an 'extreme makeover' and of course I'll post pics when that is all done!

and finally....



I've already painted it b/c I could not live w/ that pink and green crap on the bottom for one day! It's not entirely done, C needs to fix the hinges on it and I would like him to sand it a bit to give it the distressed look... but for now, I painted it with leftover paint from when we did the walls!
