7 Things About Me Award & a Craigslist Find!

Published Sep 5, 2012 by Allyson
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

So the other day I noticed I had a little 'award' nomination from the lovely lady over at Apartment Envy.  How sweet of her to think of me and to want to know, "7 things about me".  As a part of the award I have to tell you 7 things about me, and then nominate 7 other bloggers...here goes.

  1.  I have lived in 6 different states in the last 28 years, (New Hampshire, Michigan, California, Connecticut, New York, and Georgia).

2. I love dresses and have over 60 in my closet.

3. I get incredibly car sick if I am not driving.

4. I will eat anything and everything with buffalo sauce.

5. I much prefer swimming in a pool over the ocean, but prefer laying on the beach vs. poolside.

6. I have a rambunctious 21 month old toddler named Austin.

Austin, 21 months

7. I was psyched to buy a house with a huge jacuzzi tub, but have yet to use it in the 5 months we have lived there 🙁

Now, I am going to pass on the nominations to these wonderful bloggers:

Le Chic Elefant

Rantings of an Amateur Chef

Lightly Crunchy

Our Kitchen Innovations

DIY- It's Better!

Now At Home Mom

Danny's Kitchen

THE RULES:

  1. Thank the blogger who nominated you (because you’re ever so polite).
  2. Tell everyone 7 things about yourself (because everyone is dying to know what makes you tick).
  3. Choose 7 other blogs (or however many you want because, let’s face it, bloggers make their own rules) you think deserve the award and post on their page that they’ve been nominated!

Thanks again to Apartment Envy for nominating me! So sweet!

Okay, onto other things.....I scored this totally cute dresser/nightstand/side table on craigslist for $30!  I thought it had 6 drawers, but when I picked it up I found it only has 3!  It doesn't matter, I love it and can't wait to refinish it....but I have to do the dresser turned console table first, so it may be a while until you can see the makeover on this little guy.  Just a peek for now...

What would you do with it?!

    Love that little dresser/chest! It does look like six-drawers though...that's a bit sneaky 🙂 It'd be lovely in a hall way or an office for desk supplies at stuff.

    Your litle guy is too cute! I like your CL find. You could probably use it anywhere that you have a little extra spot. Maybe pair it with a chair for a small sitting spot.

    Such a cool find! Knowing me I'd probably end up leaving it as-is, can't wait to see what you do with it!

    I totally agree with #6! And #4 is hilarious 🙂

    I would paint that little CL find a happy glossy color and switch out the knobs. So cute!
