Black Friday Purchase

**UPDATE - the seller sold this before I could get a chance to go look at it. But never fear, I found an equally as good piece at the Salvation Army. It is sitting in my garage, waiting for me to attack it with some sand paper and paint.***

Did you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving? We sure did. It seems like we did a tour of Texas in just a couple of days - hitting up almost all of the major cities - Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston....check!


And how about Black Friday? We have been wanting a new TV, so we decided that if we found a good deal on one we would get it for Christmas. Target had a great deal, so we went ahead and purchased it.... and the best part - we were able to do it online! Ordered it Friday evening and it showed up on our porch today. Fastest Target shipping I have ever experienced.


So, a new TV means a new stand. Our current TV is one of those massive monstrosities that stands on its own. A huge eyesore and I am so glad to be getting rid of it. (Live in Dallas and want a great deal on a TV - holla)


I did not want a traditional media stand, but something more along the lines of a dresser. We could always use some extra storage, plus this TV is going along a huge wall and the wall can handle a large piece of furniture. I scoured Craigslist for some cheap treasures and I found this:




What do you think? I am going to check it out on Friday - hopefully it looks good in person. I was planning on refinishing whatever I purchased, but the black would also work.

The only thing that makes me nervous about the purchase is that all weekend long I kept seeing previews for the Craigslist Killer movie. If you don't hear from me Friday afternoon, call the authorities.

B, I love this dresser!! Perfect find for the new TV. I wish I had time to scour Craig's List more often. Please post a pic once it's all put together on the wall so I can see how it looks, will you? Hope Miss A had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Excitement! We ended up buying a china hutch from craigslist and making it into a tv stand. I love it.

I really like it. I love finding deals on Craigslist! Don't forget to comment on my blog and perhaps win an Anthropologie candle.

I think it looks great! But, if we don't hear back from you, I'm totally alerting the authorities.
