It was a wonderful, restful, and fun weekend with the hubs. This included chocolate milkshakes and watching the vow at home. A great church service at a new church we started going to that's super close to home. Friends of ours go and invited us to come check it out. We went to Iguana Grill after church with said friends. THEN on our way back home we drove by a warehouse/factory place that had three cable spools sitting right by their dumpster. Up for grabs! I have been waiting for this day ever since I saw this idea for my classroom on pinterest. Austin was extremely excited that lazy Sunday had somehow turned into craft day. :)
I let out a shriek and Austin reversed in the street to pull into where the lovely spools awaited us. Austin hauled one into my tiny car and we headed home. I want to eventually do something like the above picture for a reading corner or whatever in my classroom but for now we had a different idea. We have been using this old coffee table from wal-mart that my older sister had passed down to me. It worked just fine and I've even had it for a long time so that thing has lasted a while. But, it didn't really match our living room too well since it was black.
A completely free project (my favorite kind) but we really like the way it fits into our living room. I've always liked round tables and coffee tables. We thought about staining it, which we may eventually do since we already have the supplies but for now I like the original wood color. Best thing is that now I know where to check for these spools that are all over pinterest and blogs. My mother-in-law was asking for us to pick her up a few as well.
